Solutions for analysing plant cells

Cell analysis using cell counting and dynamic image analysis involves quantifying and monitoring cells in real time. This method evaluates cell size, morphology, and viability, aiding in understanding plant growth and health. Advanced imaging techniques provide detailed insights, facilitating research in plant physiology, genetics, and disease resistance.

Cell Counting

The Beckman Coulter Multisizer 4e uses electrical impedance to count and size cells, providing high-resolution data on cell volume and concentration, essential for precise analysis of cell cultures.

Dynamic Image Analysis

Dynamic image analysis of plant cells employs high-resolution imaging and software to monitor live cells, providing detailed insights into cell morphology, growth dynamics, and physiological responses in real time.

Analysis of Pollen

Analysing pollen involves examining its size, shape, and surface texture to identify species and track environmental changes. This process uses microscopy and various imaging techniques to capture detailed features, which helps in understanding pollen distribution, allergenicity, and ecological impacts. Accurate pollen analysis is essential for applications in agriculture, climate research, and allergy studies, offering insights into plant biodiversity and seasonal patterns. Advanced tools and methods enhance precision, aiding researchers and professionals in environmental and health-related fields.

Case study

A leading pharmaceutical company aimed to enhance the mass production of a high-value plant-derived metabolite used in several of its therapeutic products. Traditional methods faced challenges in scalability, consistency, and yield. The company integrated the Beckman Coulter BioLector XT Microbioreactor and Multisizer 4e to optimise and scale up production.

The pharmaceutical company successfully enhanced the mass production of a key plant-derived metabolite. They demonstrated significant yield improvements, better consistency, and scalability, highlighting the potential of these technologies to revolutionise plant cell culture-based production in the pharmaceutical industry.
