Lasers for Flow Cytometry

Description

Flow cytometry is a new high-tech technology integrating laser technology, electro-physics, fluid mechanics, photoelectric measurement technology, computer technology and monoclonal antibody technology. Known as the “CT” of the laboratory, flow cytometry is a new analysis and sorting technology that can quickly measure the structure of cells (or sub-cells). It quantifies cellular DNA content, cell volume, protein content, enzyme activity, cell membrane receptors, surface antigens and many other important parameters through the rapid measurement of Coulter resistance, fluorescence, light scattering and light absorption. Based on these parameters cells with different properties are separated to obtain pure cell populations for biological and medical research. As the level of flow cytometry technology continues to improve, its applications are becoming increasingly widespread. Flow cytometry has been commonly used in immunology, hematology, oncology, cell biology, cytogenetics, biochemistry and other clinical and basic medical research fields. Lasermate Group, Inc. can provide different lasers for flow cytometry application with free space and pigtailed versions.
