For high-resolution imaging, immersion media between the sample and objective is required. This can be a challenge for some experiments using water as immersion media. One application of immersion media might not be sufficient as the sample moves to different locations and water evaporates over long periods of time. Manual addition risks loss of data points, microscope damage, and is tedious and inefficient...

Most single-cell technologies today require cells to be manipulated one way or another, either by being frozen, fixed, or physically squeezed into microchannels or nanowells. Those requirements compromise the transcriptome with the cell altering gene expression in response and drifting further away from the physiological conditions. But novel solutions such as Asteria™ now enable fresh cells to be processed to preserve their transcriptome and thus the accuracy of the single-cell data...
