Automated image analysis reduces user-to-user variability in flow cytometry gating strategies
4 Jun 2023The need for high-throughput sample acquisition and automation in flow cytometry creates demand for new methods for analytical standardization and for reducing sources of variability. When performed on the Attune CytPix Flow Cytometer, automated image analysis combined with conventional flow cytometry provides a robust quantitative method for standardizing flow cytometry data analysis. In this application note, Thermo Fisher Scientific demonstrates that automated image-assisted analysis enables more accurate gating of true singlet populations and exclusion of unwanted events.

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.
