Description
The Tali Image-Based Cytometer is a 3-channel (bright field, green fluorescence, red fluorescence) benchtop assay platform that uses state-of-the-art optics and image analysis to perform assays for cells in suspension, including GFP and RFP expression, apoptosis, cell viability (live, dead, and total cells), cell cycle, and cell counting assays. It is compatible with a wide variety of eukaryotic cells. In addition to the bright field channel, the Tali® Image-Based Cytometer features two fluorescent channels (green and red), enabling it to simultaneously count green or red fluorescent stains, as well as cells expressing GFP and RFP.
