Last summer, I helped the folks at Biocompare build a buying guide for Flow Cytometers.
It's not your typical advertising supplement.
It's a true eBook with a focus on critical concepts, with great visualizations and clear writing, There is an insane table tht covers all the specs you could imagine; it's great reference material. Various vendors have provided excellent application notes, including:
A 45-color PBMC panel
A primer on panel design for an NK panel on a spectral system
Review of how to sort submicron particles
Rare cell detection and characterization on a cytometer equipped with imaging
Cool stuff! It was a fun project to edit!
Topics covered include:
Key specifications of flow cytometers
Types of specialized flow cytometers
Special considerations when deciding on an instrument
Detailed technical specification sheet of over 50 cytometers
Helpful flow cytometry application notes
This is a really great, current resource... even if you're not in the market for a cytometer right now. Follow the link below to register and download the eBook!
