Takara Bio is part of Takara Holding Company Inc, and represents the biomedical business interests of its parent company. Takara Bio is committed to improving the human condition through biotechnology through three primary areas of focus; developing research tools for the life sciences, gene therapy, and nutraceuticals. Takara has been focusing on biomedical research since it launched the Bio group in 1967.
From its start in manufacture and supply of restriction enzymes in 1979, Takara Bio has positioned itself as a leading company in the Japanese life science market. Takara’s acquisition of Clontech (now known as Takara Bio USA, Inc.) is one of many steps the company is taking to continue to provide innovative tools that allow customers to access technological advancements in the life sciences.

Cellenion is a company offering solutions and technologies for controlled cell dispensing with applications in the fields of bioprinting and single-cell isolation. 

Cellenion has developed CellenONE®, a revolutionary platform for automated single cell isolation and dispensing. Based on a gentle piezo-acoustic technology, CellenONE X1 allow high throughput manipulation of single cell while providing outstanding precision unlike other dispensing and microfluidic platforms that follow Poisson distribution. These features make it an ideal platform for both cloning applications and sample preparation prior to single cell analyses. 

By precisely dispensing single cells and reagents in picoliter droplets, CellenONE® is compatible with a range of substrates from microplates (384, 1536wp) to microwells which provides drastic reduction in reaction volumes and subsequently costs per single-cell analysis.   

Recent collaborative work with leading researchers has demonstrated unseen cell recovery (> 95%) from minute patient samples (< 5µL) containing fewer than 100 cells. This platform is now allowing researchers and clinicians alike new insights in samples that were previously not analysable using the latest single cell analytical techniques.
