Multispectral imaging flow cytometry for microalgae biotechnology process monitoring
Author(s): James Smith*
The demand for tools to detect morphological and compositional changes of single cells is growing in the course of efficient development and optimization of biotechnological processes. Until now, the chemical composition of cells has been assessed by analyzing a pooled cell sample, which represents the average composition of the cell collection gathered. Individuals from a population can be analyzed using traditional flow cytometry. However, it is unable to resolve important aspects such as morphological characteristics and the distribution of chemical components within cells.
A combination of imaging flow cytometry and multispectral imaging bridges this gap. In the reported parameter research on the bio production of Astaxanthin (Ax) by the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, the potential of this Multispectral Imaging Flow Cytometry (MIFC) technique was evaluated and prove..
