Researchers have developed and demonstrated a new method for high-throughput single-cell sorting that uses stimulated Raman spectroscopy rather than the traditional approach of fluorescence-activated ...

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) hydrogel undergoes significant but precise changes in size between 20°C and 40°C, making it an excellent candidate for use in variable-size deterministic lateral ...

Stanford Medicine researchers invent an electromagnetic device that can gently sort different types of cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom ...

Cell purification by FACS has grown to become a mainstay of biomedical research since its invention in the early 1970s. FACS technology was initially designed and utilized to purify lymphoid ...

Flow cytometry is an established technique for counting and characterising cells, including blood, stem and cancer cells in biomedicine. The principle involves illuminating cells while they pass along ...

Researchers have used two primary methods to assess cell morphology: microscopy and flow cytometry. Microscopic examination mostly relies on image interpretation, where the human eye analyzes cell ...

In the early 1960s, Mack Fulwyler joined the lab of Marvin Van Dilla at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as an engineer to study the effect of fallout radiation from nuclear weapons testing on ...

An electromagnetic device can gently sort cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a ...
