Pathway HT measures real-time events within each individual cell, so it's like running hundreds
of experiments at the same time.
BD Pathway™ | Applications

Applications currently being run on the BD Pathway include:

  • Apoptosis
    • JC1
    • YoPro
    • Annexin V
    • Nuclear fragmentation (DAPI or Hoechst)
