Despite its advancement in experimental complexity, flow cytometry represents one of the puzzle pieces in the realm of single-cell analysis technologies. Its limitations in providing information on cell morphological and signal localization have necessitated complementary technologies.
The integration of imaging and flow cytometry, as demonstrated by the advent of Image Cytometry, has made strides in bridging these gaps, yet the absence of sorting capabilities has hindered a deeper understanding of the biological meaning behind differences in morphology or protein distribution.
The introduction of the BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter marks a significant leap forward, as it is the first instrument to combine advanced spectral flow cytometry, cell sorting, and imaging capabilities.
What you will learn:
- How imaging completes and enhances the biological information provided by flow cytometry
- How to use real-time image sorting to improve the quality of sorted samples prior to downstream assays
- How to investigate previously unanswerable biological questions
