Fluorescence lifetime multiplex flow cytometry system (FliMFlow-MultiLife)
- Flow cytometry is a common tool in biological research and clinical analyses. In current developments, there are two different tendencies of interest. Firstly, we face the need for analysis methods that are capable of addressing more and more involved analysis tasks, i.e., an increasing number of fluorescent codes and markers is required. Secondly, low-cost diagnostic tests, e.g. in disease recognition, are needed in routine application. Lifetime encoding could be an attractive alternative to commonly applied color (spectral) encoding. By combining spectral and lifetime multiplexing, the number of simultaneously detectable codes might be increased by adding lifetime codes to the parameter space. Otherwise, instrumentation costs could be lowered using only lifetime encoding and thus avoiding costly excitation light sources and detectors. Here, we report on our recent progress in time-resolved flow cytometry using dye-stained lifetime-encoded polymer microparticles as a modelFlow cytometry is a common tool in biological research and clinical analyses.

We could show that the discrimination of two lifetime codes is feasible. Moreover, the simultaneous detection of a spectrally different ligand fluorescence signal excited at the same wavelength as the lifetime code fluorescence could be demonstrated.…
