Flow cytometry is a way to look closely at the features of cells or particles. A sample of blood or tissue goes into a machine called a cytometer. In less than a minute, a computer can analyze ...

Scientists prepare samples as single cell suspensions and labels components of interest with fluorescent antibodies or other probes. The cytometer uses pumps to draw the sample through tubing to ...

Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...

Extracellular vesicles can provide a wealth of information, but these intriguing messengers are notoriously difficult to detect. This could be about to change. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a ...

Multiplexed, multiparameter screening assays are foundational to the drug discovery process. By collecting more information, more rapidly – whether the focus antibodies, small molecules, or phenotypic ...

Cell processes are complex and are controlled through dynamic intracellular signaling. To better understand these processes, flow cytometry is used to phenotype cells by taking their dimensions and ...

The last few decades have completely transformed veterinary sciences; for example, the life expectancy of both cats and dogs has increased to a higher level than ever before. Veterinary science not ...
