Assays

A mouse challenge assay introduces a defined treatment, infection, or condition to experimental mice. It assesses physiological, immunological, or pathological responses to controlled exposures. Input: Experimental mouse model Output: Treated or exposed mouse sample for downstream analysis.

Cell sorting is a flow cytometry-based assay used to physically separate heterogeneous cell populations into distinct subpopulations based on specific cell surface or intracellular markers, enabling downstream functional, molecular, or phenotypic analyses. Cells are labeled with fluorescently conjugated antibodies or dyes, interrogated by laser excitation, and individually sorted into collection vessels using electrostatic deflection or microfluidic mechanisms according to predefined gating ...
