The type of research currently being conducted requires high quality and repeatable experiments using human neutrophils and other human cell lines commonly facilitated by conventional methods such as classical microscopy and multispectral flow cytometry. Unfortunately, such conventional methods are inconsistent and contain various levels of subjectivity. Such inconsistency and subjectivity are harmful to the lab's sensitive research. Keyence Corporation recently developed a novel system known as the BZX700 Fluorescence Microscope which significantly improves consistency and reproducibility. The BZX700 is the only system that can act as both an incubator and a deoxygenating chamber thus allowing the user to grow cells within the sealed system and control the cellular environment. The lab needs to monitor the response of anti-sickling agents on red blood cells under low oxygen conditions, and the BZX700 is the only system that can facilitate this. The purchase of this microscope will allow the lab to conduct more thorough and accurate experiments, enhancing their ability to fulfill their research mission.
