Kinetic River Develops Autofluorescence Removal Technology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Flow cytometry instrumentation company Kinetic River Corp. completed a small business innovation research (SBIR) project funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The award funded the development of the company’s “Colorado” automated autofluorescence removal technology. “Through a combination of hardware and algorithm development, we have been able to demonstrate the removal of the autofluorescence contribution from a population of exogenously stained eosinophils — a cell type with notoriously high autofluorescence signal,” said Giacomo...Read full article

    flow cytometry
    Flow cytometry is a powerful technique used in biology and medicine for the quantitative analysis of the physical and chemical characteristics of cells and particles suspended in a fluid. The method allows for the rapid measurement of multiple parameters simultaneously on a cell-by-cell basis. It is widely used in various fields, including immunology, microbiology, hematology, and cancer research. Here are the key components and features of flow cytometry: Sample preparation: Cells or...
    fluorescence
    Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
