Automated Solutions for Cellular Analysis Through Flow Cytometry
31 May 2015Flow cytometry is a powerful tool to analyze cell populations at the single-cell level. This ability is crucial for researchers that focus on heterogeneous cellular populations, as in the case of oncology research. Unfortunately, to assay cells in this fashion frequently involves a complex array of manipulations. This application note demonstrates how automation can assist with all steps of flow cytometry sample preparation—from cell culture and stimulation to generation and staining of cell suspensions.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.

These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.
