Abstract: Described herein are compounds, methods, and kits for short- and long-term tracking of cell proliferation, differentiation, and/or function. The compounds disclosed herein are coumarin-based cell-tracking reagents that fluoresce in the blue portion of the UV/VIS spectrum and provide bright fluorescence intensity, uniform cell staining, good retention within cells and low toxicity toward cells.

Abstract: Described herein are compounds, methods, and kits for short- and long-term tracking of cell proliferation, differentiation, and/or function. The compounds disclosed herein are rhodamine-based cell-tracking reagents that fluoresce in the red portion of the UV/VIS spectrum and provide bright fluorescence intensity, uniform cell staining, and good retention within live cells as well as low toxicity toward cells.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein comprise acoustic cytometry based methods, kits, computer software methods and systems to analyze a variety of bioparticles. In one embodiment, a method for analyzing bioparticles comprises: acoustically focusing one or more bioparticles through an interrogation zone; optically exciting the one or more bioparticles in the interrogation zone with an excitation source; detecting an optical signal from the bioparticles; and analyzing the optical signal to characterize at least one quality or quantity parameter of the bioparticles.
