Roland Marcus

The vision for FluoroFinder® came from Roland Marcus when he was working with a group of scientists building and designing 10-color flow cytometry experiments using intracellular markers and multiple secondary conjugates. After watching other talented people painfully learn to utilize the power of flow cytometry, it became obvious that something needed to be done.

Through these experiences, one simple question led to the development of FluoroFinder If they can control DNA, proteins, and cellular processes, why can’t they streamline panel design? Roland spent time in the years that followed talking with Core Managers at various research institutions. He validated that the ability to automate and simplify panel building would solve a universal pain point at flow cytometry core facilities and vendors. This would bring greater efficiencies and significant cost savings to critical research by accelerating panel design and reducing errors that ultimately accelerate research timelines.
