5-Laser Cell Sorter

流式细胞术分析和分选过程（a.k.a.流式细胞仪分选）是许多生命科学的关键方法之一，也在微生物学领域获得了发展势头。同时使用几种荧光染料和荧光蛋白允许单个微生物细胞的详细表征，并且所提出的FACS分选仪为这样的实验奠定了基础。耶拿大学已经成为德国的微生物研究中心，然而，目前还没有流式细胞仪可以分析和分离单个微生物细胞。本提案旨在缩小这一差距。拟议中的流式细胞仪分选机将为该大学的几个实验室提供流式细胞仪分析和分选技术，这将使未来在微生物学领域的开创性研究成为可能，并为新的合作提供基石。此外，这里列出的5个激光器的配置允许广泛的应用，这反映了耶拿工厂微生物研究的多样性。将机器容纳在安全工作台中进一步实现了病原微生物的调查。因此，所要求的设备将扩展现有的研究方法，使新的项目，并有助于年轻科学家的资格。

Flow cytometric analyzes and sorting processes (a.k.a. FACS sorting) are among the key methods of many life sciences and are also gaining momentum in the field of microbiology. The simultaneous use of several fluorescent dyes and fluorescent proteins allows a detailed characterization of individual microbial cells and the proposed FACS sorter sets the foundation for such experiments. The University of Jena has become a center for microbial research in Germany, however, there is currently no flow cytometer available that allows the analysis and isolation of individual microbial cells. This proposal aims to close this gap. The proposed FACS sorter will offer flow cytometric analyzes and sorting technology to several laboratories at the University, which will enable future pioneering research in the field of microbiology and provide a corner stone for new collaborations. Furthermore, the configuration with 5 lasers listed here allows for a wide range of applications, which reflects the diversity of microbial research at the Jena site. The containment of the machine in a safety workbench further enables the investigation of pathogenic microorganisms. The requested device will thus expand existing research approaches, enable new project, and contribute to the qualification of young scientists.
