Evolution of Flow Cytometry as a Drug Screening Platform

Flow Cytometry is an established technology used in many research and clinical laboratories. The largest users are immunologists and haematologists who use it for cell sorting and analysis. Increasing requirements for processing larger numbers of patient samples led to the development of automated tube loading carousels and, later multiwall plate-based sampling systems. The high speed quantitative high content analysis of cells also makes flow cytometry an attractive technology for drug discovery applications and it is used at many stages of this process. Recently it is also finding a niche in drug screening laboratories sharing bench space with other high throughput technologies. Flow cytometry is becoming an ideal tool, particularly in an environment where primary cell-based assays are increasingly being deployed to monitor drug responses.

Automated Cell Staining in Drug Discovery

(April 9, 2013) - Cell and molecular biology become more integral pieces of the modern drug discovery process on a seemingly daily basis. Monitoring the interaction of cells and internal cellular activity provides vital information about cell health, changes in disease states, and the response of targets to potential therapeutic compounds.

Genetic Engineering News – Democratizing Flow Cytometry

(March 15, 2013) - Due to advances on many fronts, from microfluidics to software, flow cytometry is being simplified so that it can be more readily used by a wider range of scientists and clinicians without special expertise. GEN recently spoke with technical representatives from a number of leading flow cytometry companies to get a sense of the latest instrument trends and to find out about the emergence of novel applications.

Buyers’ Guide: Flow Cytometers

(February 15, 2013) - The ability to sort individual cells quickly based on their size or protein expression has had a significant, positive impact on any area of cell biology research or medicine in which a mixed population of cells needs to be sorted out. This is accomplished using flow cytometry, in which cells (or particles) in suspension are funneled single-file through a narrow opening that ends in a nozzle, such that droplets of fluid emerge one at a time. Each droplet may, or may not, contain one cell.
