Affinity of Antibody: This assay run as Green color assays in FITC binding antibody to determine the affinity of the biosimilar drug.
Surface Marker Assay: Quantify specific cell populations based on surface marker expression (CD45+ CD4+, CD8 + MSC, CD56+ NK cells, etc.)
Cell Cycle: Propidium iodide (PI) is a nuclear staining dye that is frequently applied in measuring cell cycle. The protocol determining cellular DNA content in cell cycle analysis
Cell Apoptosis: Cell Apoptosis assay is a type used for determining the apoptosis percentage of cells by Annexin V-FITC/7-ADD staining method.
GFP transfection: The green fluorescent protein (GFP) exhibits bright green fluorescence when exposed to light in the blue to ultraviolet range. This protocol can analyze counting and percentage of GFP.
Celling Killing: Run three fluorescence color assays in disposable consumable to determine the CAR T/NK-Mediated Cytotoxicity using Tracer and Viability Dyes
Trypan blue Protocols: Obtain cell count, viability and concentration estimations based on trypan blue staining using a disposable consumable.

Applications
Dual-Fluorescence Viability
Acridine orange (AO) and Propidium iodide (PI) are nuclear nucleic acid binding dyes. The analysis excludes cell fragments, debris and artifacts particles as well as undersized events such as platelets, giving a highly accurate result. In conclusion, theCountstarsystem can be used for every step of the cell manufacturing process.

T/NK cell mediated cytotoxicity 
By labeling the target tumor cells with CFSE ortransfectwith GFP. Hoechst 33342 is used for stain all cells (both T cells and tumor cells), alternatively, target tumor cells can be stained with CFSE, PI is used forstainthe dead cells (both T cells and tumor cells). This staining strategy allows for the discriminate of different cells.



Cell Apoptosis
The different phases of apoptosis are segmented into an early, middle and late stage. Specified indicators can document the single stages of apoptosis. The Countstar® Rigel S5 offers a visualized image-based solution and analyzes all of these steps with pre-loaded protocols in depth.

Cell Cycle
CountstarRigel S5 enables users to get the result of a cell cycle quickly and accurately.CounstarRigel S5 can analyzeproportionof cell indifferentphase of the cell cycle.

Surface Maker Analysis
A lymphocyte subsets analysis is a typical experiment performed incell relatedresearch fields and various diseases diagnosis. Countstar® Rigel S5 offers a faster and easier way to make immune cell typing more efficient. With visible cell images and powerful data analysis

Affinity of antibody
Detect affinity of antibody in cell level is an important indicator of monoclonal antibody detection using immunofluorescence method.TheCountstar® Rigel S5 offers a rapid, direct and reliable evaluating method for the affinity of antibody detection in antibody drug screening

GFP Transfection Efficiency
In cell and molecular biology, the GFP gene is frequently used as a reporter of expression. Currently, scientists are commonly using the fluorescent microscopes or flow cytometers to analyze the transfection efficiency of mammalian cells. But Flow cytometry requires a high-qualified and experienced operator. WhileCountstarRigel S5 enables users to get the result of a transfection efficiency assay quickly and accurately.

Stem Cell Therapy

Determination of viability, morphology and phenotype for stem cell therapy Mesenchymal stem cells are a subset of pluripotent stem cells which can be isolated from the mesoderm. With their self-replication renewal and multi-direction differentiation characteristics, they possess a high potential for various therapies in medicine. Mesenchymal stem cells have a unique immune phenotype and immune regulation ability. Therefore, mesenchymal stem cells are already widely used in stem cell transplantations, tissue engineering and organ transplantation. And Beyond these applications, they are used as an ideal tool in tissue engineering as seeder cells in a series of basic and clinical research experiments. stem cell analysis The Countstar FL can monitor the concentration, viability, apoptosis analysis and phenotype characteristics (and their changes) during the production and differentiation of these stem cells.
