美國Amnis
總部設在美國華盛頓州西雅圖的Amnis公司,專業開發和制造流動細胞高速成像的ImageStream系統。在細胞以高至300個/每秒的速度通經這個儀器時,系統可以產生6張高分辨率的顯微圖像。系統的獨到之處在于可以在數分鐘之內對成千上萬個細胞成像而無需制作玻片。ImageStream系統中的一個內部組件——IDEAS?成像分析組件,是高度精密但簡單易用的工具,能一次處理成千上萬張圖像。IDEAS將大大推進血液病學、免疫學和腫瘤學上的深入研究,為公司的診斷應用開發提供了重要基礎。
Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Amnis Corporation has created the ImageStream? Cell Analysis System, a breakthrough technology for high speed imaging and analysis of cells in flow. The system is a next generation instrument that combines the power of microscopy and flow cytometry in a single platform to advance applications in drug discovery, basic biomedical research and diagnostics. The ImageStream makes it possible to gather detailed quantitative morphologic and fluorescence information from tens of thousands of cells in a single experiment and use that information to define and analyze cell subpopulations. The system enables advanced applications in apoptosis, nuclear translocation of transcription factors such as NFkB, co-localization of cell surface markers and intracellular molecules, automated morphologic cell classification and many others.
