AUTO-SAMPLER FOR TREATMENT OR PRETREATMENT OF SAMPLE MULTICELLULAR ORGANISMS FOR A LARGE PARTICLE SORTING FLOW CYTOMETER

摘要

A system and method for analyzing the effects of a test drug on a multicellular organism is provided. The organisms which may include embryos are labeled with a cytohistochemical reagent and sorted into wells of a microtiter plate using fluorescence activated cell sorting. To each well is added a test drug. The organisms in each well are then analyzed using an auto-sampler device to determine the effect of the test drug. The organism can then be re-sorted into a fresh titer plate.
