Article: Tips and Tricks for Fully Leveraging Advanced Flow Cytometry
Overview
Modern drug discovery research laboratories are under increasing pressure to produce biological insights that translate to success in the clinic, yet conventional flow cytometry methods are not designed to provide the high throughput support that is needed.
Advanced flow cytometry dramatically collapses the workflow, which reduces variability, saves time and money, and provides the flexibility to create better experiments that generate more biologically relevant data. Critically, the simultaneous assessment of phenotypes and cytokines in the same well removes the need to stitch data together from multiple instruments.
This streamlined approach, and novel visualization tools, decrease the time to actionable results and allows researchers to have greater confidence in their data. These data may be created and stored in compliance with the requirements of regulatory agencies.
This article highlights the features of advanced flow cytometry, such as assay miniaturization and automation capabilities, and demonstrates how it can dramatically and easily increase throughput.
