Product news

Stratedigm announces the release of its 4 laser/14 color flow cytometry analyzer. This platform complements the company's other 2 flow cytometers the SE500 and S1000.

Stratedigm announces the start of the commercial shipment of its S1000Ex flow cytometers. The “Ex” upgrade is based on Stratedigm’s most advanced technology to date. It uses the company’s patent pending Smart DetectTM architecture to enable the simultaneous detection of up to 14 colors. The Ex upgrade is compatible with any of Stratedigm’s S1000 analyzers.

Stratedigm’s Smart DetectTM technology represents one of the biggest advances in the field of flow cytometry in the past two decades. It enables the use of a single integrated PMT/electronics module for the detection of multiple flours with similar emissions wave lengths, but different excitation lasers. This new paradigm in optical detection will provide the cytometry market with multi-color analyzers capable of enhanced performance at lower prices than conventional products.

With the release of the S1000Ex, “Stratedigm will focus its product development efforts on completing its line of automation platforms scheduled to hit the market later this year” noted Shervin Javadi, Stratedigm’s CEO.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.

This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.
