Abstract:
A method of collecting cells from individual wells of a multi-well plate for flow cytometry, the method comprising: determining particle or cell counts from each well of the multi-well plate by flow cytometry; ordering the wells from lowest particle count to highest particle count; generating a sequential order for collection that follows the ordering of wells to establish a collection pattern; and collecting particles or cells according to the collection pattern in a second multi-well plate by flow cytometry.
Abstract:
A method of collecting cells from individual wells of a multi-well plate for use in flow cytometry, the method including adding a suspension of cells to wells of the multi-well plate; and aspirating cells from different wells according to a collection pattern into a flow cytometer, wherein the collection pattern is a sequential ordering of wells beginning at a middle region of the multi-well plate and continuing towards an outer region of the multi-well plate. The method preferably including rotating or agitating the multi-well plate between steps of aspirating cells from different wells. Exemplary collection patterns include spiral-square collection pattern and a nearest well to center collection pattern.
