New Flow-Cytometry Technologies: From Rare-Cell Isolation to the Analysis of Single Extracellular Vesicles and Particles
Daniel Chiu,
Professor,
University of Washington
This presentation will describe two flow-based technologies we developed
for the analysis of single rare cells and individual extracellular
vesicles and particles. The first flow platform is a rare-cell isolation
instrument, which is capable of operating in a rapid sequential sorting
mode for isolating single rare cells with exceptionally high
sensitivity and purity. The second flow instrument is a digital flow
cytometer, capable of high-sensitivity analysis of individual
extracellular vesicles and particles. I will outline the workings of
these two new flow cytometry platforms, describe their performance, and
discuss the clinical questions we are addressing with these
next-generation technologies.
