CYTOMETRY services

Accessing to advanced cell sorting technologies (flow cytometry) is a key success factor in biotechnology projects, both for academic research and industrial development projects. Main benefits are:

• Fast and accurate microorganisms numeration
• Fast access to cells physiological status
• Isolation of homogenous cell populations from heterogenous populations
• Clones isolation (one cell per plate).

To answer the needs, TWB offers cytometry services and has invested in high-throughput equipment (cell sorter 5 lasers, cytometer anlayser, as well as a dedicated software for advanced data analysis) managed by a dedicated expert.

Here are examples of typical applications:

• Direct count of microorganisms
• Detection and count of viable, viable but non-cultivable, and dead microorganisms
• Quantification of reporter genes
• Characterization of physiological data: intracellular pH, oxidative stress, membrane fluidity, energy charge, membrane potential
• Fine analysis of microbial catalysts for process improvement
• Cell bank screening
• Assessment of the populations in microbial consortia.
