Product news

At CYTO 2013, the XXVIII ISAC Congress of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry in San Diego, May 19-22, Partec will present its product and application solution portfolio. Visit their exhibition booth #830 where you will see products like the CUBE 8 and CUBE 6 flow cytometry systems as well as the revolutionary Partec LightSpeed Sorter®.

Partec’s CyFlow® Cube 6 flow cytometer was recently awarded the "red dot best of the best 2013 design award", also called the "design oscar". The "red dot award" is one of the largest and most important design competitions worldwide and the CUBE 6 system impressed the international expert jury consisting of 37 members. Assessment criteria of the "red dot award" include degree of innovation, functionality, formal quality, ergonomics, durability, symbolic and emotional content, product periphery, self-explanatory quality and ecological compatibility. These awards again underline Partec's leading position in development, design, manufacturing and quality of cutting-edge instrumentation in healthcare, diagnostics and life sciences

If you are interested in flow cytometry technology ideally suited for a broad range of medical and non-medical applications, instruments able to analyze nanoparticles as small as 50nm and able to detect and sort viruses, or if you are looking for highest resolution DNA measurements with uniquely low CVs ≤0.5% please be sure to make a stop at the Partec booth.

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.

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.

Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.CytometryCytometry is a broad term for the quantitative analysis of cells and cell systems. The most popular methods to study cytometry are flow cytometry and image cytometry.
