Five key benefits of automating flow imaging microscopy

17 Mar 2022

In this application note, Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies explores the key benefits of adding automation to flow imaging microscopy and how these are implemented in automated liquid handling (ALH) for FlowCam.

ALH for FlowCam

Yokogawa Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc

The ALH for FlowCam™ Automated Liquid Handling system integrates with FlowCam 8000 series instruments, FlowCam LO, and FlowCam Cyano to automate sample handling and FlowCam operation. ALH for FlowCam minimizes the risk of human error and improves measurement repeatability, ensures safer lab operation, and increases productivity.

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.
