Do you work with a flow cytometer? Do you want to learn more from experts in the field? Thermo Fisher Scientific now has an archive for Flow Cytometry articles available on their Behind the Bench blog.

Learn about “Flow Cytometer Fluidics and Why They Are Not All the Same” from Greg Kaduchak, PhD and Thermo Fisher Scientific R&D Engineer.

Studying cell proliferation using CFSE or BrdU? We have the blog for you! Get advice from Dr. Andrew Filby, Ph.D. Flow Cytometry Core Facility Director and ISAC SRL-Emerging Leader at Newcastle University in the UK, or Dr. Bill Telford, Flow Cytometry Research Core Manager at the National Cancer Institute, NIH in Bethesda, MD, respectively, to help you get the most from your cell proliferation assay.

Learn more from the experts.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Cell ViabilityCell viability assays assess the health of cells and their ability to proliferate. These tests are crucial in drug development, toxicity testing, and cell-based research. Common methods for assessing viability include MTT, live/dead assays, and flow cytometry. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find the best tools for cell viability assays, compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Cell AnalysisThe analysis of cells allows researchers to understand the factors which contribute to cell health and function. These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.Cell SortingCell sorting isolates specific cell populations based on physical or molecular characteristics, essential in immunology, cancer research, and regenerative medicine. Techniques like flow cytometry improve accuracy and speed. Compare cell sorting instruments and solutions in our product directory.Cell ProliferationCell proliferation refers to the process by which cells divide and multiply. This is a key concept in cancer research, tissue regeneration, and immunology studies. Explore cell proliferation tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
