Scanning cytometry with a LEAP: Laser-enabled analysis and processing of live cells in situ

摘要

Background: Scanning cytometry now has many of the features (and power) of multiparameter flow cytometry while keeping its own advantages as an imaging technology. Modem instruments combine capabilities of scanning cytometry with the ability to manipulate cells. A new technology, called LEAP (TM) (laser-enabled analysis and processing), offers a unique combination of capabilities in cell purification and selective macromolecule delivery (optoinjection).
