Microbiological applications of flow cytometry are very diverse – from cell counting and viability assays to detection of cyanobacter populations in aquatic environments. Applications include:
Cell Counts and Viability
Molecular Techniques, such as transfection
Population Characterization
Food and Dairy Microbiology
Aquatic Microbiology
The BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer and BD CFlow Plus Software provides many advantages for apoptosis studies:
Absolute counts - Cell concentration can be calculated directly from BD CFlow software statistics tables without the addition of counting beads.
Six detection parameters - The dual laser (blue and red) excitation, 4-color detection system allows flexibility in reagent choice.
Post collection data analysis - The unique 7-log dynamic range and pre-optimized detector performance minimizes the potential for data loss due to incorrect instrument set up.
Digital signal processing - Data signal processing allows post-data collection, fluorescence compensation and gating decision adjustments.
Compact and robust – The BD Accuri C6 functions just as well on a boat as it does in a life sciences laboratory.
