ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer

The ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer from Sony Biotechnology has set a new standard in high-parameter immunophenotyping allowing researchers to explore cellular populations with exceptional depth and flexibility. Its advanced technology facilitates deep analysis, unlocking insights into the intricate workings of the immune system. Consistency in data and among users over time is paramount in scientific research, for which the integrity of results must be beyond reproach. Even with sophisticated instruments like the ID7000, variability can arise from numerous sources, including sample preparation and instrument calibration, which can compromise data quality.

Sony’s standardization mode addresses these issues by ensuring that key instrument parameters are precisely calibrated, allowing for consistent, reliable results that researchers can trust. While not new, this feature remains a cornerstone of the ID7000’s design philosophy, reflecting Sony’s commitment to excellence in reproducibility.

In this webinar, Paul Rouse, Platform R&D Scientist at IMU Biosciences, will demonstrate how researchers at IMU Biosciences, have applied standardization mode, resulting in increased temporal precision in high-dimensional datasets.

Additionally, he will discuss practical strategies for implementing this mode effectively in everyday experimental workflows, including best practices for calibration, panel design, and data analysis. By leveraging the full potential of standardization mode, users can enhance the reliability of their immunophenotyping studies, driving more accurate and impactful results in both research and clinical applications.

A broad range of researchers are increasingly using high-parameter flow cytometry as a tool to drive insights in the areas of immunology, stem cell research, oncology, and drug discovery. Streamlined workflows that allow users to easily setup high-parameter experiments for analysis and sorting of target populations support accessibility, ultimately leading to better data quality and faster results.

The FP7000 Spectral Cell Sorter is designed with cutting-edge spectral optics, electronics, and fluidics that maximize performance for high-parameter cell sorting applications. Guided workflows in the software enable researchers to easily transfer panels optimized on the ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer or easily setup a multicolor panel for high-speed sorting.

In this webinar, Anthony Carcio, Senior Field Application Scientist at Sony Biotechnology, will review key features of the FP7000 and how it streamlines high-parameter experiments for optimal sorting results. He will also explore how the ID7000 Spectral Cell Analyzer and the FP7000 work integrally, facilitating a seamless transfer of multicolor applications, and review how the FP7000 Spectral Cell Sorter can be used for sorting several distinct and rare subsets of immune cells from a 34-color panel to obtain highly pure populations.

The metabolic profile of immune cells is increasingly recognized as closely linked to its function in various contexts, including infection, cancer, autoimmunity, and aging. However, our understanding of immunometabolism within the complex human immune system is uneven; smaller populations and those that do not thrive in culture remain under-studied.

Join us for an exclusive webinar where we will explore how spectral flow cytometry and SCENITH can be utilized to combine high-resolution profiling of cellular heterogeneity, along with granular measurements of glycolytic and mitochondrial activity. We will discuss key technical requirements, including sample size and cell number, for obtaining reliable measurements, and demonstrate the advantages of Sony's ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer, particularly in the implementation of barcoding and autofluorescence measurement.

Who should attend?

Researchers who are interested in combining spectral flow cytometry with SCENITH to gain new insights into immunometabolism.

Flow cytometry panels are often developed on a specific instrument configuration, raising questions about performance when transferred to a different platform. In this SelectScience® webinar, we demonstrate the successful transfer of a multicolor spectral panel that was not originally designed for the ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer from Sony Biotechnology. We show that equivalent data quality and resolution can be achieved.

Using real experimental data, we explore differences in spread and resolution between 5-laser and 6-laser configurations. Also, we assess the impact of unmixing strategy, comparing spectral libraries to freshly prepared single stained controls, with optional examples using beads and cells. Attendees will gain practical insight into panel portability and unmixing best practices.
