FagoFlowEx Kit

What is detected and measured 

FagoFlowEx Kit is intended for the determination of phagocytic activity of neutrophil granulocytes by measuring respiratory (oxidative) burst in whole blood by flow cytometry. 

The device detects and measures two parameters using the fluorogenic substrate Dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR123): 

  • Percentage of neutrophil granulocytes that produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to ingestion of E. coli bacteria  
  • Relative intracellular activity of ROS-producing enzymes (Stimulation Index = mean fluorescence intensity ratio of positive neutrophil granulocytes from E. coli stimulated reaction and negative neutrophil granulocytes from negative control reaction.) 

Manufacturer: EXBIO Praha, a.s.
