Bioenergetic analysis of suspension cells: hematopoietic stem cells and lymphocytes
A real time assay that quantifies the ATP and biosynthetic demands of immune cell proliferation, differentiation and effector function.
Normal suspension cells, such as hematopoietic cells and lymphocytes are responsible for supplying oxygen to the body and protecting the host. Cellular metabolism is markedly dynamic in immune responses during proliferation and immune effector functions...

Translational medicine is an emerging field within medical research which seeks to draw inferences from research in basic biomedical sciences such as molecular and cell biology that are of significance for patient care. With its focus on removing barriers to multi-disciplinary collaboration, translational research has the potential to drive the advancement of applied science.
An attempt to bridge these barriers has been undertaken particularly in the medical domain where the term translational medicine has been applied to a research approach that seeks to move "from bench to bedside" or from laboratory experiments through clinical trials to actual point-of-care patient applications.
Enabling a greater understanding of cellular bioenergetics, the XF Analyzer allows the measurement of cellular metabolism in real time, in a microplate. By measuring the oxygen consumption rate (OCR)—a measure of mitochondrial respiration; as well as the extracellular acidification rate (ECAR)—a measure of glycolysis, you will be provided with the most physiologically relevant in vitro measurement for your bioenergetic studies.
