Imaging flow cytometry (IFC), or Multi-spectral imaging flow cytometry (MIFC) is a new technology that incorporates aspects of both microscopy and flow cytometry that performs multi-color spectral fluorescence and bright field imaging simultaneously through a laminar core. This capability provides an accurate analysis of fluorescent signal intensities and spatial relationships between different structures and cellular features at high speed.
The technological research and development of imaging flow cytometers is a core link in the industry chain, involving advanced technologies in multiple fields, including optics, electronics, computer science, fluid dynamics, and bioinformatics. These technological developments and innovations provide strong support for the performance improvement and application expansion of imaging flow cytometers. For example, optimization of laser light sources, improvements in photodetectors, and upgrades to image processing algorithms all directly impact the detection sensitivity and resolution of imaging flow cytometers. Currently, the global landscape is characterized by an oligopoly coupled with high import dependence, and China has just entered the "zero to one" domestic production window.
The raw materials primarily include optical components (such as lasers, filters, and lenses), electronic components (such as photomultiplier tubes and data acquisition cards), precision mechanical parts (such as flow chambers and nozzles), and biological reagents (such as fluorescent dyes and antibodies). Imaging flow cytometers have a wide range of applications in biomedical research, clinical diagnostics, and drug development. In the field of biomedical research, it can be used for cell sorting, cell cycle analysis, cell apoptosis detection, etc.; in the field of clinical diagnosis, it can be used for tumor marker detection, immune function assessment, etc.; in the field of drug development, it can be used for drug screening, drug efficacy evaluation, etc.
Imaging Flow Cytometry is a high-end biomedical instrument that plays an important role in life science research, clinical diagnosis, and drug development.
Global imaging flow cytometry market key players include Sysmex, Luminex Corporation, etc.The top 1 players hold about 90% of global shares. North America and Asia-Pacific are main markets, they occupy over 80% of the global market. 12 channels is the key type, with a share about 50%.
