ODIN

ODIN is a high-performance, imaging-based cell sorting and analysis platform that transforms any microscope into a powerful tool for advanced microfluidics and particle research. With real-time, high-speed imaging and intelligent analysis, ODIN enables precise detection, sorting, and characterization of cells, droplets, microorganisms, and particles — all with reduced false positives/negatives and improved sample purity. Its versatile functionality supports label-free and fluorescence modes, making it ideal for single-cell studies, targeted therapy development, microbiology, and complex assays that demand speed, clarity, and control.
