Cell Sorting Flow Cytometry

Cells larger than lymphocytes require a larger nozzle to be placed on the instrument and the flow rate is lower.

Cell sorting flow cytometry.

Hello my name is michael timm. Michael timm s pearl on cell sorting using flow cytometry explains the origins of cell sorting technology the two main types and their differences as well as best practices and troubleshooting sorting assays. Forward scatter fsc forward light scatter refers to the refracted light past the cell into a detector behind the laser. If your research requires cytometric analysis our state of the art instruments acquire optical measurements using different lasers to detect fluorophores with a high level of precision.

There are two methods for performing cell sorting. With flow cytometry cell sorting multiple detectors are being utilized to analyze different cell characteristics. Cell sorting by flow cytometry cell sorting is a method to purify cell populations based on the presence or absence of specific physical characteristics. Download transcript pdf slide 1.

The amount of refraction refers to the size and volume of the cell. Cell sorting is the separation and isolation of various cell populations. Researchers partnering with nyu langone s cytometry and cell sorting laboratory have access to the most powerful and adaptable flow cytometry and cell sorting technologies and instruments available. Using flow cytometry requires a flow cytometric cell sorter like the bd facsaria.

For example if lymphocytes were concentrated to 20 million per ml the flow rate at the instrument could be run as high as 20 000 cells per second.
