Introduction
Description of Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer
Tali
™
Image-Based
Cytometer
The Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer is a 3-channel (bright field, green fluorescence,
red fluorescence) benchtop assay platform that uses state-of-the-art optics and
image analysis to perform assays for cells in suspension, including GFP and RFP
expression, apoptosis, cell viability (live, dead, and total cells), and cell counting
assays. It is compatible with a wide variety of eukaryotic cells.
Using only 25 μL of sample volume, the Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer takes
10 seconds to 2 minutes for a typical assay, depending on complexity of the assay
and number of fields captured.
In addition to the bright field channel, the Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer features
two fluorescent channels (green and red), enabling it to simultaneously count green
or red fluorescent stains, as well as cells expressing GFP and RFP.
The Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer offers an intuitive user interface, and provides the
option to save data and generate a report, which can then be transferred to a PC
using the USB drive supplied with the instrument or available separately.
The Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer is supplied with disposable Tali
™
Cellular
Analysis Slides (see page 8), which are also available separately (see page 39 for
ordering information).
See next page for details on various parts of the Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer.
Features
Important features of the Tali

three-parameter population analysis.
Uses the Tali
™
assays optimized for the Tali
™
Image-Based Cytometer.
Uses disposable Tali
™
Cellular Analysis Slides that eliminate washing steps and
cross contamination between samples.
Presents comprehensive data with graphic reports and allows the export of data
as .csv (comma separated value), .jpg, and .pdf files for archiving and sample
comparisons.
