Beschreibung
The resurgence of interest in high-resolution evaluation ofsingle-cell properties has led to examining where currenttechnology stands at the beginning of a new millennium. Engineersand scientists have produced significant advances in cytometrictechnologies in just the past few years. Emerging Tools forSingle-Cell Analysis: Advances in Optical MeasurementTechnologies stresses the applications and theories behindsome of these advances in cell measurement and cell- sortingtechnologies.
Rapid assessment of the proper function of cells and molecularprocesses within cells is essential. To that end, new and varyingtechnologies present important diagnostic and prognostic toolsrelevant to a variety of diseases. Future developments inminiaturization of electronics, micro- and nanomachines, andbiomedical engineering are certain to impact cell biology. Newanalytical technologies are revolutionizing our ability tofunctionally characterize, isolate, and manipulate single cells.This timely book offers researchers and design engineersmuch-needed information as they further develop technologies forcell analysis.
By comparing and contrasting various approaches, the authorsexplain how those technologies converge toward similar goals:evaluating the properties of cells and sorting cells on thoseproperties using optically-based measurement systems.Emerging Tools for Single-Cell Analysis offersscientists and engineers a vision of the exciting possibilitiesthat exist as new technologies are applied to single-cellanalysis,
