Cell analysis encompasses various techniques and equipment, tailored to specific aspects of cells one wishes to study. These methods can range from simple imaging to complex molecular analysis.
Common imaging uses a microscope or camera to assess cell number, condition, and viability. Advances in AI have led to software capable of automating cell count and long-term observation.
Instrumentation advancements in cell analysis have enabled detailed studies of cell behaviors such as migration, division, proliferation, and morphological changes, contributing significantly to recent breakthroughs in cell biology.
Cell analysis is integral to various fields including clinical research, reproductive medicine, and drug development. Its role is particularly crucial in cancer research due to the complexities of cancer cell behaviors like expression, migration, and network formation.
Diverse methods, like fluorescence microscopes, are employed in cell analysis, each selected based on the research goal. Recent developments include automated cell counting devices, enhancing accuracy and consistency in research.
Cell analysis often relies on imaging techniques, with fluorescence microscopy being a prominent method. It uses fluorescence emitted from a sample under specific wavelengths to capture images.
When exposed to intense light, molecules in the sample emit fluorescence of different wavelengths, allowing for substance-specific analysis. Overlaying images of various substances offers a comprehensive view of cellular states.
For instance, imaging cells stained for the cytoskeleton and mitochondria during mitosis provides vivid and detailed visualizations.
1. Microscopy/Imaging Analysis:
Microscopes and cameras with broad wavelength capabilities, including visible light and near-infrared, enable detailed observation of cell morphology and changes. Some systems allow long-term live cell observation in conditions like those in an incubator.
Modern devices also quantify cell number and morphology through image analysis software.
2. Flow Cytometer:
Flow cytometers measure cell count and characteristics using laser beams and fluorescence. They are essential in diagnosing conditions like leukemia and for analyzing cell clusters.
3. Cell Analyzer:
A specialized flow cytometer, it counts cells on a slide, including challenging cell types like peripheral blood mononuclear cells, without sample collection.
4. Plate Reader:
This instrument assesses cell proliferation and viability by measuring absorbance and fluorescence.
5. Gene Transfer Device/Cell Fusion Device:
Used in plant breeding and gene therapy research, these devices enable gene introduction and cell fusion.
