    ImageStreamX mkII

    Location: Institute of Immunology, Röntgenstraße 21
    Group: AG Roth
    Contact Person: Achmet Imam Chasa
    Tel.: 0251 83-52942, aimam@uni-muenster.de

    Applications & Info:

    • The ImageStreamX is a functional combination of a flow cytometer and a fluorescence microscope.
    • It unites the possibility of high throughput data acquisition of flow cytometry with morphological information obtained by microscopy.
    • Therefore it is possible to even analyse rare subpopulations of cells for certain expression patterns of target proteins and perform statistical data analyses.
    • Examples of possible assays: Transcription factor translocation into nucleus upon cell stimulation; Phagocytosis/endocytosis assay with analysis of subcellular localisation; Protein-protein interaction/co-localisation studies; Cell-cell binding/interactions (APC/T-Cell)
