The 7 laser configuration gives you increased panel design flexibility and more sensitivity due to less data spread after unmixing. For more details, read following technical note: Using the 320-nm Laser on the ID7000™
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.
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…
The BD FACSMelody is a small and easy to use cell sorter, equipped with three lasers (405nm, 488nm, 561nm) and capable of detecting 11 parameters. This instrument is intended to be used without the assistance of a specialized operator. With the newly designed BD FACSChorus™ software, researchers are guided throughout the entire cell sorting process using advanced automation technology. It is designed to eliminate manual steps and has a really simplified workflow….
The BD LSRFortessa analyzer was acquired in order to eliminate the capacity shortages of the existing Fortessa. The two instruments have an identical configuration to facilitate the transfer of your experiments from one machine to another…
Many of you will already know that the FCCF could expand its equipment park considerably this year. By now, all instruments are delivered, but not all of them are ready to use, due to different reasons. The first instrument we wanted to introduce to you, is the ImageStream®X MarkII by Amnis®. This cytometer offers our…
AYOXXA’s new multiplex protein detection platform, called LUNARIS™ is now available in the core facility. With ready-to-use BioChips and the respective Analysis Software, LUNARIS™ enables to quantify multiple protein targets in a single sample, particularly in areas where precious sample volume is a limiting factor. YOUR ADVANTAGES: measure multiple protein biomarkers in down to 3…
Not that long ago in 2010 we moved our IT infrastrucuture to new hardware, to be prepared for future requirements. The future has come and is gone by now. So once again we have to move on. The next weeks will be exciting, both for us and you. We first will shutdown our old online…
Wednesday 10th June, 15:00, Lehrgebäude, Seminar Room 12, 2nd Floor Did you ever think about going to high throughput in flow cytometry. I mean really high throughput. We saw a presentation of the Intellicyt technology and they said that they need for flow cytometric analysis less than 5 minutes for a 96 well plate and…
