A Parallel Microfluidic Flow Cytometer for High Content Screening

A parallel microfluidic cytometer (PMC) uses a high-speed scanning photomultiplier-based detector to combine low-pixel-count 1-D imaging with flow cytometry. The 384 parallel flow channels of the PMC decouple count rate from signal-to-noise ratio. Using 6-pixel 1-D images, we investigated protein-lo...

Sumario:A parallel microfluidic cytometer (PMC) uses a high-speed scanning photomultiplier-based detector to combine low-pixel-count 1-D imaging with flow cytometry. The 384 parallel flow channels of the PMC decouple count rate from signal-to-noise ratio. Using 6-pixel 1-D images, we investigated protein-localization in a yeast model for a human protein-misfolding disease and demonstrated the feasibility of a nuclear-translocation assay in Chinese-hamster-ovary (CHO) cells expressing a NFκB-GFP reporter.
