The ImageStreamX combines the high-speed capture of high-resolution imagery withdetailed quantitation to create a statistically robust microscopy platform for a wide range of cell analysis applications.
The ImageStream produces up to 12 high resolution images of each cell directly in flow, at rates exceeding 1,000 cells per second and with the fluorescence sensitivity of the best conventional flow cytometers. These breakthrough capabilities allow quantification of cellular morphology and the intensity and location of fluorescent probes on, in or between cells, even in rare sub-populations and highly heterogeneous samples.
With the ImageStream Flow Cytometer users can;
- Image cell directly in suspension with the resolution of a 60x microscope and the fluorescence sensitivity of the best flow cytometers.
- Analyze highly heterogeneous samples and rare cell sub-populations at speeds exceeding 1,000 cells per second.
- Perform phenotypic and functional studies at the same time using up to five lasers and 12 images per cells.
- Quantitate any image using the IDEAS software packages numerous pre-defined fluorescence and morphologic parameters
The image stream produces imagery comparable to the best fluorescence microscopes and operates at 60x, 40x or 20x magnification, so researchers can study the fine details of objects as small as bacteria and as large as epithelial cells. The ImageStream utilizes the same dyes and markers employed in microscopy and flow cytometry and can perform virtually any standard flow cytometry assay with the added value of visual confirmation. In addition, the AutoSampler greatly enhances productivity by enabling unattended sampleloading from a wide variety of 96 well plates.
The modular design of the ImageStreamX allows the system to grow with your research needs and budget through a broad range of field-installable options. All options, including the additional laser options, can be installed at the factory or upgraded in the field by Amnis-certified field service personnel.
