Technology – Coulter Volume The Coulter Counter measures the electrical resistance across an aperture immersed in an electrolytic buffer. When a cell passes through the aperture, the resistance increases and an “event” is recorded as an electrical potential pulse. Coulter volume measurement remains one of the most accurate ways to measure cell size.

Technology – Patented Flow Cell Natural shear forces create 2µ flow stream 125μm 125μm Technology – Flow Cell Stream stability yields <30% increased “optical” resolution and “electrical Volume” sensitivity
Technology – flow cell Electrodes on both sides of the sample chamber establish an electric current, which when disrupted by cells both count and size the population Epi-illumination identical to principle of inverted microscopy systems carries excitation and emission light for UV Light and emission of 488 excited light
Technology – Versatile arc lamp excitation source The four primary excitation wavelengths from the arc provide a flexible solution to encompass many common excitable dyes, including UV.

Stem Cell Analysis (Side Population) Blue Hoechst 33342 Red Hoechst 33342 Applications: Stem Cell Research Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are multipotent cells that reside in the bone marrow and replenish all adult hematopoietic lineages throughout the lifetime of the animal. Studies in the hematopoetic and muscle systems show that stem cells have the ability to efflux the dye Hoechst 33342. Cells with this phenotype are referred to as the side population (SP). In many cases, this population represents less than 1 % of the total population. (Goodell et al. (1996)) Historically this analysis was done on very expensive sorter systems due to requirement of Hoechst 33342 UV excitation. This very same analysis can be done on the Cell Lab Quanta at a fraction of the cost and with the ability to give additional statistics not provided on traditional cytometry systems.
