Facs flow cytometer

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States, Germany, China

The FACS flow cytometer is a laboratory instrument used for the analysis and sorting of cells or particles suspended in a fluid stream. It utilizes the principles of light scattering, light excitation, and electronic detection to characterize and differentiate individual cells or particles as they flow in a single file through a laser beam.

1 million Kasumi-1 cells were treated with the IC50 value of the MLEE or MO-AgNPs for 24 hours for the cell cycle analysis. After treatment, the cells were fixed in 70% ethanol for 2 hours. The fixed cells were resuspended in PBS containing 0.1% triton-X and RNase A. The cells were then incubated with propidium iodide (PI) (Sigma) and analysed with the BD-FACS flow cytometer. Further analysis was done using the ModFit program. For the apoptosis assay, 500,000 Kasumi-1 cells were treated with the IC50 of the MLEE or MO-AgNPs for 72 hours. The cells were harvested and further methods were done using the annexin V – FITC apoptosis kit (Sigma Aldrich) according to its manufacturer’s protocol. The cells were then analysed with the BD-FACS flow cytometer.

Bacteria were grown to stationary phase at 37 °C in LB medium adjusted to pH 5.0. A 1-ml aliquot of culture was then centrifuged for 5 min at 2000 × g, and the resulting pellet resuspended in 1 ml of LB medium adjusted to either pH 2.5 or pH 5.027 (link)28 (link). The suspension was then incubated for 30 min at 37 °C with shaking at 220 rpm. Bacteria were collected by centrifugation as described above, and washed three times with PBS. Cells were then stained for 15 min using a BD cell viability kit, and measured using a BD FACS flow cytometer. The data were analyzed using CellQuest software.

Cell apoptosis was detected using the Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis kit (Invitrogen). Briefly, chondrocytes were cultured for 48 h, digested using trypsin without EDTA (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and washed with PBS. The cells were collected and adjusted to a cell density of 1 × 106 cells/ml. Then, cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC and PI for 15 min.

HER2 Expression Analysis in BT-474 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BT-474 cells were treated with compounds 5 or 9 at 5 μM concentration as well as lapatinib at 0.07 μM, and were incubated for 48 h at 37°C. After trypsinization, the cells were washed twice with PBS and resuspended at a density of 1 × 106 cells/100 μL PBS in Eppendorf tubes. FITC-labeled anti-HER2 was added at 5 μg/mL and incubated for 90 min. Cells were washed and spun down at 400 × g for 10 min and resuspended in 2 mL PBS. The solution was then transferred into flow cytometry tubes on ice and analyzed using a BD FACS flow cytometer. The shift in the number of cells with or without FITC was observed, and the effect on expression of HER2 after treating with compounds was evaluated compared to that of cells without any treatment.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
