EGGSORTER
The EggSorter is a cost-effective device that automatically carries out the visual inspection, sorting and dispensing of miniature biological entities (from 0.6 to 1.5 mm). It has been specially developed to handle zebrafish eggs (Danio Rerio), but it can also work with similar models (Oryzias latipes, Xenopus laevis).
The core of the EggSorter is a rotary wheel that can grab the eggs one by one and place them in front of a camera (either bright field imaging or fluorescence).
The picture of the egg is then retrieved on the embedded computer, saved on the cloud and processed using various algorithms based on Deep Learning to classify each individual egg.
After this process, each egg can either be maintained inside the device for continuous inspection, or it can be evacuated and placed inside multiple containers, according to its categorization.

High-throughput
The EggSorter can be 3x faster than a trained technician. With 1 operator interaction, you can sort up to 500 zebrafish eggs, releasing 66% of your valuable time.
High-precision
Automation helps reducing the number of errors. Furthermore, our classification algorithms are very precise, with 95-99% accuracy.
Standardization
The Eggsorter performs the entire process automatically, allowing greater control of the different parameters.
FUNCTIONALITIES
Screening
Either in bright field or fluorescence (GFP, mCherry) to recognise morphological features, abnormalities or expression patterns
Personalization
The classification algorithms can be personalized to the specific needs of your research
Different outputs
Tubes, Petri dishes or Multiwell plates
Data storage
Tracking of the images and data analysis plugins
USING THE EGGSORTER
The EggSorter has been designed for the users. The EggSorter is controlled via an Android app that is easy to configure. The App runs on an embedded computer which the user can interact with via a tactile screen.
Its convenient user interfaces allow for an easy interaction with the device so that it is possible to get the most out of the functionalities that are available.
