Mechanical Cell Analysis

Real-time deformability cytometry allows to assess the mechanical properties of cells, which are crucial for understanding cell type and state, as well as their response to various stimuli. It provides an innovative way to characterize cells based on their physical properties, complementing traditional fluorescence-based cytometry.
The analysis allows the simultaneous detection of mechanical and fluorescence characteristics in individual cells. This integration supports the validation of cellular mechanics as a powerful label-free marker.
Key applications include:
•    Mechanical phenotyping of cells;
•    Drug screening and toxicity testing.
