Behind the Special Issue: Join podcast host David Pechter as he invites Joseph de Rutte (Partillion Bioscience) to discuss the paper: “Sorting single-cell microcarriers using commercial flow cytometers”. This research was featured in the recent SLAS Technology special issue, Single Cell Analysis Technologies. Listen in as they discuss the unique formation of microscopic, bowl-shaped containers they call nanovials, and the applications of these cell carriers in flow cytometry for functional single-cell assays.  Dr. Joe de Rutte received his B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2014 and 2016 and received a Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2020. He co-founded Partillion Bioscience in 2020 based on his Ph.D. research and currently leads the company as President. Dr. de Rutte was awarded the 2020 Society of Laboratory Automation and Screening Innovation Award in recognition of the impact of his “Lab on a Particle” work.
