Lasers Used in Cytometry

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Sept. 26, 2007 -- A white light source based on an ultrafast high-power fiber laser integrated with photonic crystal fiber was used in the first application of optical supercontinuum lasers in flow cytometry. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the US National Institutes of Health conducted the experiments and reported the results in a recent issue of the journal Nature. Ultrafast fiber laser maker Fianium, based in Southampton, England, is the manufacturer of the SC450 laser used in the experiment. "Even the most modern cytometers typically provide for not more than four laser...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...
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
