The production of cuvettes for flow cytometry and particle analysis is considered the pinnacle of precision engineering, as this field operates at the very limits of what is technically possible. Hellma Cytometry Flow Cells are distinguished by outstanding optical properties, precise manufacturing, and seamless bonding technologies. These features ensure high signal intensity and minimal background noise, which is particularly crucial for demanding analyses such as the development of new immunotherapies or the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases.

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.
