I am aiming to do isolation of D.salina by flow cytometry.
I am not sure if i compulsory use nile red for this purpose because some articles show the NR is used for lipid secreening and nobody work to isolate D.salina using this techniqe but i think this attachment will help to declare this aim but why they use nile red to secreening the lipids althought their aim was to select dunaliella salina strains.
i have colored sample because of beta carotene produced by D.salina so i think i have to use the wavelength of beta carotene only for sorting the cells.
am i right?
Have i to use a acontrol ? and what it will be ?
