Flow Cytometry Services
Ichor Life Sciences can provide conventional and spectral flow cytometry custom assays tailored to the needs of your study.
Ichor Life Sciences offers comprehensive flow cytometry service packages. From initial panel design to statistical analysis, Ichor Life Sciences can process blood and tissues to obtain single cell suspensions followed by sample staining, acquisition, and data analysis.
Basic Flow Cytometry Panels
High throughput, up to 4 color basic panels, live or fixed samples.
Conventional Flow Cytometry Panels
3 Laser, up to 13 color panels, live or fixed samples.
Spectral Flow Cytometry
14-30 color custom designed panels, live or fixed samples.
Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS)
Multicolor panel design to select a population of interest.
Bead Based Arrays
Simultaneous analysis of several markers in a single sample.
Custom Flow Cytometry Services
Flow cytometry is a powerful tool to characterize individual particles and cells in a mixed population.
Up to 4 markers in addition to size and granularity, Ichor Life Sciences basic flow cytometry service can be used to characterize basic cell populations, e.g. CD45.1 vs CD45.2, H2d vs H2k, human vs mouse cells, etc.).
Ichor Life Sciences offers pre-validated panels to query common immune cell markers or custom design panels tailored specifically to the needs of your studies. Up to 30 colors multiplexed on the Cytek Aurora (5 Lasers).
Bead based arrays to multiplex analysis of samples using pre-validated panels or custom designed panels (BD® Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) or BioLegend® LEGENDPlex™ Assays).
Multicolor panel design for characterization of different cell populations. 3 Laser (405nm, 488nm, 640nm) up to 13 color analysis on fixed or live samples on the BD Fortessa instrument. Compare intracellular signaling, surface expression, cell populations in your samples.
Isolate cell populations with specific characteristics on the BD Aria 4 Laser (407nm, 488nm, 561nm, 633nm) flow cytometry cell sorter. Custom designed panels. Ask about our magnetic-enrichement capabilities to streamline FACS assays.
Sample Processing, Enrichment, and Staining
Ichor Life Sciences can harvest samples based on the needs of your study. These samples can be processed into single cell suspensions to allow for analysis by flow cytometry or FACS.
Need to deplete an unwanted population or enrich another? Ichor Life Sciences is well equipped to perform magnetic-assisted enrichment or depletion (MACS) at any scale. These services can be provided as an add-on to our flow cytometry services or as a stand-alone service.
Magnetic Enrichment of Cells
Magnetic Enrichment of Cells
Ichor Life Sciences can perform small scale labeling and purification using Miltenyi Biotec MACS® Cell Separation Reagents or BioLegend MojoSort reagents.
Fully Automated Labeling and Magnetic Sorting
Ichor Life Sciences can enrich or deplete selected cell populations from samples for downstream analyses using the Miltenyi Biotec AutoMACS® Pro and selected magnetic microbeads.
