What’s new in version 2.1:
Cell Cycle Analysis—The Tali® Image-Based Cytometer can perform cell cycle analysis using propidium iodide stained cells. Additionally, the resulting cell cycle data can be downloaded in Excel-compatible or FCS format. The FCS formatted data can be transferred to any flow cytometry–modeling software.
Fine tuning of fluorescent thresholds—Now you can use an on-screen keypad to adjust the fluorescent thresholds. This new feature allows for increased control and easier experiment-to-experiment comparison.
The X-axis can be adjusted—You can easily adjust the x-axis and expand or zoom into the region of interest. This helps to separate and identify low fluorescent expressing cells.
Auto-alignment capability—Instead of a manual alignment of the cameras, you insert the Tali® fluorescent alignment beads and run the auto-alignment program. This results in very consistent data by reducing user-to-user variability.
