Flow cytometry combined with image analysis

Amnis produces instruments that combine flow cytometry and image analysis into one unit. This is an instrument the Facility is considering for future services..

• Amnis ImageStream Mark II
  • Combines the speed, statistical power, and fluorescence sensitivity of flow cytometry with the functional insights of high resolution microscopy
  • Can analyze up to 5,000 cells/sec
  • User interface provides real-time plotting and graphical gating (flow cytometry histograms and dot plots), as well as images of every cell
  • Works with sample volumes of 20-200 ul
  • 60x/40x/20x magnification options
  • Accepts up to 7 lasers
• ImageStream Applications
