Application Note - Identifying Contaminants in Neutrophil Preparations

Analyzing cell populations in whole blood is a fundamental yet challenging task. Even after standard preparation steps, samples often contain mixed populations of leukocytes, platelets, and red blood cells (RBCs). Cytely enables researchers to rapidly identify and quantify these populations at the single-cell level. Through scatter plots and intuitive gating, different blood cell types can be distinguished and characterized in an unbiased, interactive workflow. Key features demonstrated in this note: Visualizing heterogeneity across a mixed cell population Identifying populations (neutrophils, platelets, RBCs) using scatter plots Gating to isolate neutrophil subsets

How to identify different blood cell types in your sample (neutrophils, RBCs, platelets) without multiple antibodies or elaborate protocols

Here we look at a basic blood sample stained for nuclei, cytosol, and membrane. We easily gated out RBCs and platelets by their lack of nuclear signal and smaller size, while neutrophils popped out with their strong nuclear and cytosolic staining. Ordinarily, you’d need multiple antibodies or RBC lysis to achieve this separation, but with Cytely, you can do it in a single workflow, preserving your sample’s spatial context and completing the entire analysis in a matter of minutes.
