Cell Sorting Flow Cytometry

12 14 31 in flow cytometers with sorting capabilities the instrument detects cells using parameters including cell size morphology and protein expression and then droplet technology.

Cell sorting flow cytometry.

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. There are two methods for performing cell sorting. The amount of refraction refers to the size and volume of the cell. Cells larger than lymphocytes require a larger nozzle to be placed on the instrument and the flow rate is lower.

With flow cytometry cell sorting multiple detectors are being utilized to analyze different cell characteristics. 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. Download transcript pdf slide 1. 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.

Forward scatter fsc forward light scatter refers to the refracted light past the cell into a detector behind the laser.
