Sysmex Europe GmbH announces the rollout of its new flow cytometry portfolio. By combining the expertise and knowledge of the global leader in hematology with that gained through the acquisition of flow cytometry pioneers Partec GmbH in 2014, Sysmex is now able to provide a complete offering to support biomedical research, the breeding ground for new diagnostic breakthroughs. The new portfolio includes immunophenotyping antibodies, tailored analyzers and specialist software.

By expanding its technology base to include flow cytometry, Sysmex is embarking on a new journey of discovery. Initially, the focus of Sysmex’s portfolio addresses biomedical research with single-color monoclonal antibodies reagents. Available in a wide range of fluorochromes, these reagents complement Sysmex’s existing, upgraded flow cytometry product line including the Sysmex CyFlow® Space and CyFlow® Cube cytometers, as well as Celltrics® disposable filters.

“Our expanded product portfolio, especially the CyFlow® single-color monoclonal antibodies, represents our global commitment to academic, pharmaceutical, industrial and clinical researchers,” said Martin Heiden, Flow Cytometry Director at Sysmex Europe. “We look forward to offering this product portfolio to flow cytometry research communities across our EMEA region. Together with our customers we will work on further portfolio expansions to meet the fast changing researcher´s needs in the years to come.”

The product portfolio is now available for the following areas:

  • Academic and clinical research
  • Industrial applications: agriculture, aquamarine studies, water quality
  • Pharmaceutical research: oncology, drug discovery

Sysmex’s new E-shop and website is now also online with an overview of the entire Sysmex flow cytometry product range for biomedical research.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.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.Monoclonal AntibodiesMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are lab-made molecules that can bind to specific antigens on cells, making them highly effective in treating cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infections. These targeted therapies are transforming the treatment landscape for many conditions. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find monoclonal antibodies for research and clinical applications; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Water AnalysisAnalytical methods used to test the purity of drinking water include determining the level of contaminants abides to the level set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).PharmaceuticalsPharmaceuticals are medicinal drugs used in healthcare to diagnose, prevent, cure and treat illnesses. Pharmaceuticals that are excreted after use appear in wastewater and can have detrimental effects on the environment.Cancer ResearchAlthough cancer is often referred to as a single condition, it actually consists of more than 100 different diseases. Microscopy, mass spectrometry, high throughput sequencing and flow cytometry are some of the most common techniques employed in cancer research labs.
