Spectral flow cytometer

Beskrivning

The research group of Marcus Buggert and others at the Center for Infectious Medicine (CIM) at Karolinska Institutet (KI) areusing high-throughput platforms to assess multiple proteins of the human immune system simultaneously in health anddisease conditions. Flow cytometry, also known as fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), is a laser-based technology toanalyze cell and particle characteristics using fluorescence-labeled antibodies. KI intends to purchase a spectral flowcytometry instrument (to assess the single-cell and nanoparticle landscape. There is only one instrument that has ascientifically peer-reviewed and documented capacity to measure more than 40 parameters at the single-cell level in a highlymultiplexed manner. The purchase also include a service contract for 4 years.
