Flow Cytometers
Flow cytometers are instruments that characterise particles using optical signals as they pass through a measurement region.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Flow cytometers (FC or FCM) are automated instruments that quantitate properties of single cells, one cell at a time. They can measure cell size, cell granularity, the amounts of cell components such as total DNA, newly synthesized DNA, gene expression as the amount messenger RNA for a particular gene, amounts of specific surface receptors, amounts of intracellular proteins, or transient signaling events in living cells. Quantities are usually relative, but can be numbers of molecules per cell when absolute values are needed. Typically, up to three to six properties or components are quantitated in a single sample, cell by cell, for about 10,000 cells, in less than one minute (not counting time to prepare the sample, which might be an hour or more).
Fluidics position the sample for laser interrogation; detectors measure scattered light and fluorescence. Sorting is an additional capability available on selected instruments.
Marker combinations, optical overlap and sample condition influence interpretation. Instrument counts cannot be equated directly with a single assay capacity.
What turns activity into demand
Lasers, detectors and sample properties determine usable measurement coverage. Separate analysers from cell sorters, reagents and complete analytical services.
The commercial boundary
Separate analysers from cell sorters, reagents and complete analytical services.
