Summary
Machine-generated summaryEPFL intends to purchase a full-spectrum cell sorter with integrated real-time image analysis and sorting for its flow cytometry platform (PTCF) within the Faculty of Life Sciences. The instrument combines spectral flow cytometry with fast, camera-free imaging of every event, correlating morphological parameters with spectral data. Two priority needs drive the acquisition: cancer immunotherapy research requires isolating tumor-T-cell conjugates by imaging actin cytoskeleton reorganization at the immunological synapse to screen efficacy-enhancing agents, and atmospheric microbiology research on bioaerosols requires visual, morphology-based classification of individual particles alongside spectral measurement.
