Measuring phagocytic function of retinal pigment epithelial cells using gentle, microfluidic cell sorting

Learn about how microfluidics-based cell sorters can be used to measure the phagocytic function of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. This assay monitors the dynamics of binding and internalization of photoreceptor outer segments by RPE cells. This method can also be applied to other phagocytic cell types.

This webinar highlights:

  • Conventional methods of measuring rates of phagocytosis
  • Phagocytosis assay experimental protocol using the WOLF Cell Sorter, and its advantages
  • Potential downstream applications
