Cell Sorting

Flow Cytometry Market 2016-2020

November 23, 2017

Flow cytometry is a laser or impedance-based technology used in cell sorting, cell counting, biomarker detection, and protein engineering. Flow cytometry allows for in-depth analysis of cell structures using software. The process starts [more...]

Sorting out HIV

June 14, 2017

Image Credit: EMBL/Merten Group Around 1% of patients with HIV – known as elite controllers – are able to survive without antiviral treatment, because their immune systems produce certain kinds of HIV-specific antibodies: proteins that [more...]

Single Cells Lined Up Like Ducks in a Row

June 7, 2017

The new microhole chip can be populated with 200,000 single cells, each held in place in separate holes. (Credit: Fraunhofer IBMT) The higher the concentration of tumor cells in the bloodstream, the greater the risk of metastasis. The [more...]

Machining Precision Microfluidic Channels

December 5, 2015

Microfluidics combines expertise in engineering, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, nanotechnology, and biotechnology to design systems in which extremely small volumes of fluids are processed through tiny channels milled into a device [more...]

Using Microfluidic Devices to Sort Stem Cells

November 11, 2015

An overview of the process. After the cell sample is pumped through the device, the sorted single cells are collected at the outlet and cultured in a low serum media to promote differentiation. While there are no cures for neurological [more...]

Microfluidics: Many Channels of Technological Advances

October 4, 2015

The advent of microfluidics—using “chips” containing networks of tiny channels and chambers through which minute amounts of reagents move—in biological research has enabled scientists to examine rare or precious samples, which in [more...]
