NDX UnipicK Plus with digital control unit and collection head

NDX UnipicK – Single-Cell Isolation and Tissue Microdissection

Item No.: on request

Price: on request

The NeuroInDx UnipicK series supports capillary-based collection of selected cells and tissue regions under microscopic observation. UnipicK Plus adds digital control and controlled pressure-assisted deposition for sample transfer. The configuration depends on the sample, microscope, and downstream analysis.

NeuroInDx (NDX)

Category: Sample Preparation Brand: NeuroInDx (NDX)

Collect selected targets. Plan the next step.

A vacuum pulse draws the selected cell or tissue region into the collection capillary. In UnipicK Plus, controlled positive pressure supports deposition into the receiving vessel. Targets are selected under microscopic observation; sample preparation, capillary selection, and transfer conditions must match the experiment.

01Observe the target
02Position the capillary
03Collect the sample
04Transfer the sample

Typical research applications

Tissue microdissection

Collect selected regions from tissue sections for molecular studies. Preparation and protocols depend on the tissue type.

Cell collection from cultures

Collect microscopically selected cells from cultures. Planned reculturing requires assessment of cell condition and collection parameters.

Targeted sampling for downstream analysis

Prepare material for subsequent RNA, DNA, or protein analysis. Suitability and the required amount depend on the analytical protocol.

Technical specifications – UnipicK Plus

Parameter	Specification
Control	Digital, touchscreen
Maximum vacuum	10 PSI
Maximum positive pressure	5 PSI
Pulse duration	0.1–1.0 s
Capillary inner diameter (DCU)	10–100 µm

Automation	Optional

Manufacturer information reviewed on October 1, 2026. The 1.5 µm value is the vertical travel step, not the sampling resolution. Binding specifications apply to the quoted configuration.

Match the microscope, sample, and system configuration

Selection requires the microscope model, imaging method, sample format, and receiving vessel. Available clearance, stands, holders, and any motorized stage must be reviewed separately. A microscope, stage, or other components are included only when explicitly listed in the quotation.

Documents and scientific background

The publication describes UnipicK collection of pools of 10–20 neurons for RNA sequencing. It supports that application; it does not establish a general single-cell purity or success rate.

Pos.	Item No.	Description
1	on request	UnipicK – basic system with analog control
2	on request	UnipicK Plus – system with digital control
3	on request	DCU collection capillaries – diameter selected for the application
4	on request	Stand, adapters, and sample holders – configuration dependent
5	on request	Optional UnipicK Plus automation – specified separately

Installation, training, lead time, and warranty terms are specified in the quotation. The microscope and motorized stage must be considered separately.

Which model fits my application?

UnipicK provides analog control of targeted collection. UnipicK Plus adds digital control and controlled pressure-assisted deposition. Sample type, receiving vessel, and the required operating workflow guide the choice.

Can I use my existing microscope?

Use with various inverted microscopes is intended. Compatibility is reviewed for the exact model, including clearance, illumination, and required holders.

Are the microscope and motorized stage included?

Only if these components are explicitly listed in the quotation. A product image does not define the scope of supply.

Can I work with live and fixed samples?

The manufacturer lists cell cultures and several native, frozen, and fixed tissues. Preparation, collection, and downstream analysis depend on the specific protocol.

Is UnipicK Plus automated?

The basic system is digitally operated. The manufacturer offers optional automation; its scope and prerequisites must be reviewed separately.

Is collected material suitable for single-cell analysis?

Suitability depends on cell count, integrity, transfer medium, and the analytical protocol. Downstream assay requirements should be defined before selecting the system.

What should I include in an inquiry?

Specify sample type and preparation, microscope model, required transfer, planned downstream analysis, and the number of samples.
