The FACSMelody cell sorting system enables simultaneous isolation of up to four different fluorescently labeled cell populations.​​ It utilizes the fluorescent signals emitted by various cells to accurately identify and isolate them.​​ (🧵1/3)

The FACSMelody uses the fluorescence of a labelled population to identify and sort cells accurately. Being able to sort distinct cell types is useful in many applications including, drug screening, immunophenotyping and transcriptomic assays.

The QuIPS Platform features two IN Carta Analysis workstations designed to handle the heavy lifting of image analysis, allowing users to focus on their research.

The Nuclei module segments cells based on nuclear DAPI staining (green mask) paired with a 15 um collar (yellow mask) to approximate the cell boundary, while the Organelle module identifies micronuclei within the cell boundary (red mask).

IN Carta Analysis Software equipped with SINAP (Segmentation Is Not A Problem) deep learning modules employs advanced artificial intelligence to transform images into data that can be easily quantified and interpreted. 🧵1/4

In this experiment, individual cells expressing green fluorescent protein were sorted into each well of a 96-well plate to ultimately generate CRISPR knockout clones. FACS based cell isolation is an efficient and accurate way to isolate single cells for downstream applications.

The BD FACSMelody within the QuIPS platform can sort or enrich specific cell populations based on their fluorescence intensities using Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting technology.​ 🧵1/4

Shown is a DAB-stained mouse brain from the Sharif Laboratory (@SharifLab) at the University of Manitoba zoomed in to 4x, 10x, 20x, 40x magnification.  Images like these can be studied to enhance their understanding of brain cancers including medulloblastoma and glioblastoma.

By combining the transmitted light microscope and 40X objective with auto-stitching capabilities, the PhenoImager captures high-dimensional images of tissues and allows users to visualize their entire slide in one image file.🧵1/3
