“Flow cytometers used in automated workcells for high-throughput phenotypic screening labs can create a bottleneck because standard flow cytometers can be slow with limited detectors and higher-end flow cytometers may not be automation-ready,” said Dr. Xiaoti Guo, Bio-Rad Product Manager. “Bio-Rad has overcome these challenges by automating its high-throughput ZE5 Cell Analyzer so that a single operator can run up to 27-color phenotypic or targeted screens continuously, up to 24 hours a day,” she added.
New features offered by the ZE5 help accelerate biopharmaceutical drug discovery, enabling researchers to scale up multiple assays, such as epitope binding or compound screening assays, when thousands of samples must be analyzed.
Key benefits of the upgraded ZE5 include:
