Image-based cytometry – a technology conquers cell culture

Star charts and Petri dishes - von Dr Daniel H. Rapoport, Dr Tim Becker

Cell cultivation has now become an indispensable part of scientific investigation and applications within medicine. From a simple substance test to the autologous cell therapies of the future, cell technologies are based on the controlled propagation of cells. An important step towards this goal is the non-invasive characterisation of the cell population grown. New methods in image-based cytometry offer an ideal platform technology for this purpose.
