VIB Flow Core supercharges science with spectral cytometry

At the VIB Flow Core in Ghent, Belgium, advanced flow cytometry technology fuels pioneering research in immunology, plant biology, and biotechnology. Gert Van Isterdael, head of the core facility, highlights how the ID7000 Spectral Cell Analyzer and its high-parameter spectral analysis capabilities are enabling scientists to break new ground in cellular analysis and generate high-quality, trustworthy data.

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.
