Letter to the Editor regarding 'trapping cells on a stretchable microwell array for single-cell analysis'

摘要

In the introduction to their article published in your journal as well as in the subsequent erratum, Wang et al. refer to the microwell format for trapping and analyzing nonadherent cells on a chip, the LiveCell~(TM) array (LCA), As mentioned in the article, the LCA method is indeed based on our work; however, and in contrast to what was mistakenly stated in the article and might be misconstrued from the erratum, we would like to point out that distribution of the LCA has never been discontinued. In fact, the LCA continues to be one of the very few commercial products available on the market for high-content analysis of nonadherent live cells via static cytometry, with single-cell resolution.
