Lifeasible Updated Its Flow Cytometry Analysis Service for Plant Research Lifeasible, a biotechnology company specialized in agricultural science, recently updated its flow cytometry analysis service for plant research. Flow cytometry is a rapid analysis and sorting technique that developed rapidly in the mid20th century. It integrates liquid flow technology, optical technology, computer technology and electronic technology to complete the accurate analysis and sorting of suspended particles. In the 1980s, this technology began to be widely used in the detection of plant DNA content, cell cycle, transgenic and secondary metabolite accumulation. The use of flow cytometry in plant research has lagged behind those of hematology and immunology slightly because of the peculiarities of plant cells. Nevertheless, flow cytometry has been utilized extensively in the study of plants for close to 50 years, with applications in plant breeding, growth and development, physiological ecology, system evolution, categorization, molecular, cellular, general, and even systems biology levels. A reputable provider of flow cytometry services, Lifeasible, specializes in plant biotechnology and offers excellent services for a variety of research projects, including: • • • • •
Plant ploidy levels determination Genome size determination True-to-type characterization of genotypes Mapping of plant genomes Measurement of chemical contents
