Polymer flow cytometry reagents

在多伦多大学和BD的这个合作项目中，我们将开发新的基于聚合物的荧光团，用于增强多色流式细胞术。聚合物设计的突破将为BD带来新的全球产品线。BD被广泛认为是多色流式细胞仪荧光团设计和商业化的领先者，已经拥有几个成功的产品线，包括被认为是市场领先者的Brilliant VioletTM和Brilliant UVTM荧光团。Seferos集团在半导体聚合物的合成和研究、聚合物光物理和聚合物表征技术方面拥有深厚的专业知识，包括与本提案相关的材料。因此，这一合作伙伴关系有望在增强型多色流式细胞术的荧光团设计方面取得重大突破。

In this collaborative project between the University of Toronto and BD, we will develop new polymer-based fluorophores for enhanced multicolour flow cytometry. Breakthroughs in polymer design will lead to new world-wide product lines for BD. BD is widely regarded as a leader in the design and commercialization of fluorophores for multicolour flow cytometry and already has several successful product lines, including the Brilliant VioletTM and Brilliant UVTM fluorophores, considered market leaders. The Seferos group has deep expertise in the synthesis and study of semiconducting polymers, polymer photophysics, and polymer characterization techniques, including with materials relevant to the present proposal. This partnership is thus ideally poised to make significant breakthroughs in fluorophore design for enhanced multicolour flow cytometry.
