Cytometry Flow Cells

Customized precision— because every cell counts

Cytometry flow cells from Hellma are based on innovative manufacturing technologies tailored to application-specific requirements. Whether immunology, oncology, or stem cell research—flow cytometry provides indispensable insights into cell functions, behavior, and characteristics with precision and reproducibility. Unlike traditional methods, it offers more than static snapshots by enabling in-depth analysis of thousands of cells per second – capturing cell division, immune responses, and activation states.

Hellma supports instrument manufacturers with advanced cytometry flow cells, unmatched or extraordinary manufacturing expertise, and modular product concepts. This results in customized solutions that can be easily integrated into your instrument design - for maximum performance and innovative strength.

Application Example for Cytometry Flow Cells by Hellma

Mobile analytics to fight HIV, tuberculosis and malaria

Flow cytometry is used to examine particles and blood cells quickly and precisely. In this case, Cytometry Flow Cells are used in mobile laboratory devices to investigate life-threatening diseases such as HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. . Housed in robust vehicles, these analytical devices provide reliable results in the shortest possible time. In this way, Hellma technology makes an important contribution to helping people in need without delay.

Immunological Characterization of T-Cell Activation

Flow cytometry enables precise real-time analysis and sorting of blood cells and is used in clinical diagnostics, research, and food analysis. A key application is the immunological characterization of T-cell activation. Blood samples are labeled with fluorescent markers to specifically identify activated T-cells and analyze their status. The quality of the cytometry flow cells used is critical for reliable analysis. High-quality quartz cytometry flow cells ensure smooth, distortion-free passage of cells through the laser beam. This allows even the smallest differences in T-cell activation states to be detected.
