Ensemble vs. single cell recording Ensembles average signals over 20 patched cells (16 ensembles per plate, left panel) The new single cell consumable records from one cell per channel (16 cells per plate for IF-16, right panel) The single cell consumable utilizes the same hardware 20-cell ensemble Single cell

Well-Plate Integrated Microfluidics Well-plate integrated microfluidics (WPM) utilizes standard 96- and 384- well plates, but the bottom of the plate is replaced with a microfluidic network interconnected between the wells.

SBIR: the good, the bad and the ugly The good: –Non-dilutive capital! –Can be the catalyst for new projects, encourages innovation –Early $$, which are the hardest The bad: –Long timelines: 9 mo. from application to funding –<200k is low capital for Phase I awards –Can be a distraction from the central mission The ugly: –Review process dependent on random events –In our case, projects with the greatest commercial worth didn’t get funded
