A simple method accurately measures flow sorting drop delay using enzyme activity. This technique is fast, equipment-free, and works with any flow cytometer, optimizing particle sorting efficiency.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Accurate drop-delay setting is crucial for efficient particle sorting in flow cytometry.
  • Traditional methods for drop-delay calibration can be time-consuming and require specialized equipment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a simple, rapid, and equipment-independent technique for measuring the drop delay in flow sorting.
  • To optimize the accuracy and efficiency of particle sorting in flow cytometry.

Main Methods:

  • A novel method utilizing HRP-coupled particles and immunoassay strips was developed.
  • Drop-delay was systematically varied while sorting a fixed number of particles.
  • HRP activity in sorted samples was measured to determine the optimal drop-delay setting.
