Coulterflow.com, an online environment for flow cytometrists, offers a variety of functions that help researchers design experiments, compare and identify appropriate reagents and simplify purchasing.
New downloadable tools allow scientists to assemble best-in-class antibody panels, link to a customised My Lab page and order from an extensive online catalogue.
My Lab, a personalised workspace, allows storage, review and tracking of experiments, and access to previously ordered products.
Users can create folders and product lists, and add notes to stored experiments and links to references.
An Antibody Panel Creator helps researchers determine the best reagents and fluorochromes for a particular sample, facilitating reliable test results.
Once the reagents and an optical filter are identified, the completed panel and its components can be stored in a My Lab tab or sent to the shopping cart.
Additional features include a 'Multi-colour Reagent Selector' that assists in the selection of antibodies and conjugates, allows review of the selection and works in conjunction with the researcher's My Lab page.
Experiment design and spectrios tools can be downloaded to allow users to design experiments, select markers, choose reagents and check the spectral compatibility for the fluorophores offered by Beckman Coulter.
Data can easily be printed or converted to a PDF for reports.
Coulterflow.com covers breakthrough research and topical issues, and provides interactive tools for flow cytometry.
It offers access to a continuously updated and comprehensive line of reagents for cell signalling and immune monitoring, as well as access to support reagents, antibodies, fluorophores, and quality control reagents and assay kits.
