MRI: Acquisition of a fluorescence activated cell sorter

1337787 Ren本提案要求提供资金，用于购买最先进的荧光激活细胞(FAC)分类器。锡拉丘兹大学(SU)目前没有FAC分类器，这是SU不同系的许多研究项目的限制因素。选择的模型是一种特殊的FACS AriaTM系统，带有来自BD Biosciences的4个激光器。它满足了所有确认用户的需求，并具有足够的灵活性，可以成功地纳入未来的用户。它将使研究人员能够以高速度(高达每秒70,000个细胞)和高精度(99%)对直径在0.2-100微米之间的原核和真核细胞进行分选。这一重要的先进仪器将成为苏州大学正在进行的许多项目的关键资源，这些项目涉及生物材料(包括细胞-表面相互作用、药物输送和纳米技术)、分子和细胞生物学(包括神经科学、细胞生理学、发育和跨领域信号传递)以及涉及藻类细胞的生物燃料研究。

1337787RenThis proposal requests funding for the acquisition of a state-of-the-art fluorescence activated cell (FAC) sorter. Syracuse University (SU) does not currently have a FAC sorter and this is a limiting factor for many research projects in different SU departments. The selected model is a Special FACS AriaTM system with 4 lasers from BD Biosciences. It fulfills the needs of all confirmed users and has sufficient flexibility to successfully incorporate future users. It will enable researchers to sort both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells between 0.2 - 100 ìm in diameter with high speeds (up to 70,000 cells per second) and high accuracy (99%). This major piece of advanced instrumentation will be a crucial resource for many ongoing projects at SU in the areas of biomaterials (including cell-surface interactions, drug delivery, and nanotechnology), molecular and cell biology (including neuroscience, cell physiology, development, and inter-kingdom signaling) and biofuels research involving algae cells.
