Flow Cytometry
What is Flow Cytometry?
Generally speaking, flow cytometry is the measurement of single cells in a water jet.
We use flow cytometry routinely to quantify cell numbers in picoplankton samples and cell cultures. Fluorescent pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids characteristic for marine cyanobacteria and microalgae are detected as well as fluorescent dyes specific for DNA, proteins and other cellular compounds of microorganisms like cell membranes. Further, cells meeting predefined properties can be sorted with high speed in high purity for further molecular biological analysis.
