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. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Artificial Intelligence / Machine LearningArtificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transformative technologies used to analyze complex data, identify patterns, and make data-driven predictions across diverse scientific fields. Automate the analysis of large or complex data sets using AI algorithms and leverage machine learning models to improve diagnostics, accelerate drug discovery, and refine experimental design. Discover the best AI/ML software, platforms, and analytical tools in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare features, read customer reviews, and request pricing directly from manufacturers.Colony CountingCell ImagingCell imaging can be achieved using a number of techniques including confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and light sheet microscopy.
