Thorlabs, best known for its wide range of optical and optomechanical products, is moving up the photonics value chain with the acquisition of cytometry specialist CompuCyte. Massachusetts-based ...

NEWTON — Thorlabs has increased its presence in the biological sciences market with the purchase this week of CompuCyte, a Boston area-based company that makes machines that are used in research of ...

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 ...

After five decades of use, flow cytometry is entrenched in biomedical science. Besides enabling the quick processing of cells in suspension, flow cytometry provides quantitative results across ...

Flow cytometry is a technique that involves passing cells suspended in a liquid through a laser, while the scattering of light is detected and processed in real-time. Flow cytometry also measures the ...

Flow cytometry allows for the analysis of single cells in a population. This technique is analogous to microscopy, but instead of producing an image, a flow cytometer provides automated quantification ...

A significant and continuing goal in the development of flow cytometry methods is the ability to measure more parameters for each particle being analyzed. Professor John Nolan’s group at La Jolla ...

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 ...
