Flexible Detection Unit from APE: True Multispectral Flow-Cytometry & Pulse Shape Analysis Detection Hardware APE presents a highly flexible and modern detection hardware platform perfectly suited for multispectral flow-cytometry. The light pulses originating from the labeled cells passing through the excitation laser typically are carrying more information than used in the current commercially available cytometers. The multispectral detection unit available from APE collects the full spectral information at the single cell level and provides access to the raw data signals enabling you to uncover the hidden information. Multivariate Data Analysis Multispectral detection increases the light collection in flow cytometry, which in turn leads to an increase in sensitivity, an improved detection limit, and a higher resolution. There is no need to explicitly tune the detector configuration (Detector, Filter) to a particular staining panel. In conjunction with custom unmixing algorithms such as FMO controls and multivariate data analysis this leads to a highly stable and powerful system. Integration into Commercial Cytometers, e.g. BD Instruments Fiber coupling with standard optical fibers ensures easy integration into many existing commercial flow cytometers. APE’s multispectral detection platform with the detector block can be equipped with either PMTs, APDs or photodiodes. Carefully designed electronic hardware and a powerful signal processing unit deliver high quality data.
