Flow cytometry and Flow Cytometers
Flow cytometry is a widely used method for analyzing the expression of cell surface and intracellular molecules, characterizing and defining different cell types in a heterogeneous cell population, assessing the purity of isolated subpopulations, and analyzing cell size and volume. It allows simultaneous multi-parameter analysis of single cells.Application of Flow Cytometry
Immunophenotyping: To identify and quantify populations of cells in a heterogeneous sample. These cell subsets are measured by labeling population-specific proteins with a fluorescent tag on the cell surface.
Immunophenotyping: To identify and quantify populations of cells in a heterogeneous sample. These cell subsets are measured by labeling population-specific proteins with a fluorescent tag on the cell surface.
Cell Sorting: to characterize each cell as it passes through the laser. The sorter then uses sophisticated electronics and fluidics to identify and sort the cells of interest out of the fluidic stream into a test tube.
Cell Cycle Analysis: To analyze replication states using fluorescent dyes to measure the four distinct phases of the cell cycle. The assay may be devised to measure cell aneuploidy associated with chromosomal abnormalities.
Apoptosis: To identify the live cells, necrotic cells, and apoptotic cells relying on the differences in morphological, biochemical, and molecular changes.
Cell Proliferation Assays: To measure cell proliferation by labeling resting cells with a cell membrane fluorescent dye, carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE).

Flow Cytometer Platforms That You Can Choose From
BD FACSCanto™ Flow Cytometer
Technical Specification
The benchtop SH800S cell sorter permits the sorting of a wide range of cell sizes and applications using the 70 µm, 100 µm, and 130 µm microfluidics sorting chips. This novel, chip-based design is fully integrated with comprehensive fluidics controls and advanced automation for set-up, acquisition, sort, and analysis to make sorting less subjective, more precise, and easier to use.
SH800S is flexible and can support a variety of applications for individual and core labs. For applications where cross-contamination is a concern, optional e-beam sterilized consumables can be used to replace sample line and sorting chip. An optional class A2 Level II biosafety cabinet provides protection for personnel and products.
The biosafety cabinet was custom designed for the SH800 and tested by the Baker Company to meet many international standards. The optical design offers up to 4 collinear excitation lasers (488 nm, 405nm, 561nm, and 638nm) and 6 fluorescence detectors. The six free-form PMTs enable the detection of fluorescence signals from any laser-based on filter selection.
Isolating and analyzing blood or cultured cells, bacteria, algae, yeasts, microparticles and even nanoparticles like extracellular vesicles pose no challenge for this compact but powerful cytometer in any of its configurations.
CytoFLEX Platform flow cytometers demonstrate outstanding sensitivity and reproducibility with six excitation wavelengths (355 nm, 375 nm, 405 nm, 488 nm, 638 nm, 808 nm).
