We are pleased to inform you that we have received approval of our application for a new high-end spectral cell sorter. We would like to learn more about the experience of our users with our cell sorting services in the Flow Cytometry Core Facility and about your current needs and aspirations for the future. Since we are in the fortunate position of being able to purchase a new cell sorter in the near future, your help will be very useful in deciding which of the available sorters to choose.

General questions:

How often have you used the Core Facility cell sorting services in the last 12 months? (approximately)
Overall, how satisfied were you with the core facility service?
How satisfied were you with the cell sorting results?
1 - poor ... 5 - excellent

Which types of cells are mostly sorted?
Do you sort untested human material or patient samples?
What kind of downstream applications do you mainly have?
Do you have any survival issues after sorting?

Technical questions:

What nozzle sizes do you normally use?
Which collection devices do you normally use?
How many populations do you primarily sort?
Would you like to sort more than four populations?
How many fluorochromes do you currently use in your sorting experiments?
Would you like to stain more, if possible?
Would you like to use your spectral panels for cell sorting?
Do you think you would benefit from images in your sorting experiments?

What is spectral flow cytometry? In contrast with conventional flow cytometry that detects the emission peak of fluorochromes by the use of optical filters, spectral flow cytometry distinguishes the shapes of emission spectra along a large range of continuous wave lengths. The data is analyzed with an algorithm that replaces compensation matrices and treats auto-fluorescence…

In 2018 the Flow Cytometry Core Facility was able to acquire five new instruments.

A FACSAria Fusion cell sorter, a second LSRFortessa cell analyzer and an ImageStream  image cytometer were granted by the DFG through a large device application. (“Forschungsgroßgeräte” nach Art.91b GG)

Special thanks goes to the excellence cluster “ImmunoSensation”and to the SFB TR57 .  A FACSMelody cell sorter and a Attune NXT flow cytometer could be purchased by their help. Furthermore, we could upgrade the Image Stream shortly after it was delivered, since we found out, that one of the planned experiments would require up to 20 hours of measurement time. This is definitely a job for an autosampler.

When you ask ChatGPT to write a children’s story about flow cytometry this happens. Isn’t it brilliant? #ai#chatgpt#flowcytometry#artificialintelligence Once upon a time, there was a little cell named Celeste. Celeste was a special cell because she was part of a big experiment. Scientists wanted to learn more about Celeste and all of her friends, so…
