A comparative study of symmetrical and unsymmetrical trimethine cyanine dyes bearing benzoxazolyl and benzothiazolyl groups
摘要:
Six symmetrical and unsymmetrical trimethine cyanine dyes bearing benzothiazolyl and benzoxazolyl groups were synthesized. Their linear optical properties were studied. It was found that the variation of hetero atoms play an important role in the spectral properties of the dyes. Sequential replacement of the oxygen atom by the sulfur atom resulted in a change in shade from yellow to purple. In order to understand the relationship between the molecular structures and the spectral properties of these dyes, theoretical calculations were made using the Gaussian programme. Key parameters related to absorption and emission spectra were reported and discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Herein is provided a simple, reliable and accurate method for cellular analysis on hematology analyzers. In various aspects, the methods provide separation and/or differentiation between red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs) by utilizing a fluorescent dye to selectively stain WBCs such that they emit stronger fluorescence signals. The method provides optimal detection limits on WBCs and RBCs, thereby allowing analysis of samples with sparse cellular concentrations. As few as one reagent may be used to prepare a single dilution for body fluid analysis, in order to simplify the body fluid analysis. Minimal damage to WBCs is attained using the lysis-free approach described in aspects of the disclosure.

The invention relates to a reagent and a process for the identification and counting of biological cells in a sample. This reagent comprises a cell lysing agent selected from at least one detergent in a concentration capable of specifically lysing a given type of cells in the sample, and a stain capable of marking the intracellular nucleic acids of the remaining unlysed cells. Application in particular for the identification and counting of cells using an automated analysis system based on flow cytometry.
