"Cell Cycle and Cytoskeletal Elements in Bacteria"
Apogee sponsored this popular and successful meeting and displayed the high sensitivity A40-MiniFCM. Several of the participants presented data from their Apogee flow cytometers, and others recognised the need for a flow cytometer such as the A40, designed for demanding small particle applications.
Apogee announces a new light scatter size calibration method for submicron particles based on the Mie solution to Maxwell's equations. Refractive index considerations are essential when estimating particle size from light scatter data. Apogee's revolutionary method provides an accurate particle size derived from the wavelength of light and refractive index of the particle.
A fantastic new technology for the standardization of light scatter measurements: Ideal for sizing bacteria, microves...

Dr. G. Gregori (University of "La Mediterranee": Laboratoire de Microbiologie , Geochimie et Ecologie Marine CNRS UMR 6117) took the A40-MiniFCM on board the research vessel TETHYS II (CNRS-INSU) during the "POTES mer" cruise. SYBR Green I for nucleic acid content and propidium iodide for cell membrane integrity (viability) along with light scatter characteristics were used to measure the abundance of marine bacteria at a variety of depths.
