1. Designing and Building the Device
<ol>
	<li>Pilot Experiments 
	NOTE: The required light intensity for a specific optogenetic tool and cell type may vary significantly. Pilot experiments with prototypes are useful to estimate the minimal light intensity necessary. The optogenetic tool used for the following experiments is a Dronpa-Linker-Dronpa fusion construct. The Dronpa sequence was commercially obtained (See List of Materials). A long linker was cloned in between two Dronpa sequences to allow the expressed construct to form intramolecular (and intermolecular) dimers. The steps described below can be adapted to many other optogenetic tools or optically controlled substances.
	<ol>
		<li>Transduce Ramos B lymphocytes with a Dronpa-Linker-Dronpa containing construct following the manufacturer&#39;s instructions for transduction using the retroviral-containing supernatant from packaging cells. Harvest and count cells according to a previously published protocol13.</li>
		<li>Resuspend cells at a concentration of 1 x 106/mL in medium (RPMI 1640, 10% heat-inactivated FCS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 U/mL streptomycin, and 50 &#181;M 2-mercaptoethanol) and transfer them to a glass FACS tube.</li>
		<li>Insert the tube into a flow cytometer and measure the fluorescence intensity of Dronpa (GFP channel)14,15.</li>
		<li>Wear protective glasses for all further steps to protect eyes from possibly damaging wavelengths.</li>
		<li>Manually place a 500 nm LED light on the outside of the tube and continue measuring the fluorescence intensity of Dronpa.</li>
		<li>Increase the number and/or intensity of the LED lights until Dronpa fluorescence intensity decreases.</li>
		<li>Manually place a 400 nm LED light on the outside of the tube and continue measuring the fluorescence intensity of Dronpa.</li>
		<li>Increase the number and/or intensity of the LED lights until the Dronpa fluorescence intensity increases.</li>

	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Building the device 
	NOTE: The device was built by a professional machining shop, the Arbeitsgruppe Technik from the University of Freiburg. Most parts are custom made and not commercially available. The exact dimensions of each part are depicted in Figures 1 and 2. To clarify the assembly of this device, Supplementary Video 1 is provided and the most essential steps are described below.
	<ol>
		<li>Mill piece A from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with the exact measurements shown in Figure 1A.</li>
		<li>Insert LED lights into the drilled holes of piece A and seal each hole with PVC glue to prevent water leakage.</li>
		<li>Connect LEDs to a multichannel transformer (each wavelength should occupy a separate channel) with an adjustable output power from 0-29 mA.</li>
		<li>Attach the outer sheath (B) with 3 screws to piece A as depicted to protect the LEDs from physical damage.</li>
		<li>To be able to connect the device to a water pump, glue in the tube clips (C) into the drilled holes of piece A (depicted in Figure 1a, cross-section Y: 9 mm and 61.5 mm) using PVC glue.</li>
		<li>Cut a 58.5 mm long Plexiglas tube (D1).</li>
		<li>Manufacture pieces D2 and D3 from Plexiglas as depicted in Figure 2.</li>
		<li>Glue piece D3 to the bottom of D1 with Plexiglas glue.</li>
		<li>Attach a rubber O-ring to piece D2 and glue it to the top of D1 with Plexiglas glue. 
		NOTE: The pieces D1, D2 and D3 together form piece D.</li>
		<li>Insert piece D into piece A with 3 screws.</li>
		<li>Test the device for water leakage prior to applying power to the transformer.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>

The LED Thermo Flow is an innovative device to study optogenetic tools in a flow cytometer.
So far, optogenetic samples have been illuminated only with microscopy lasers or flashlight devices11,12. Depending on the angle and distance of the flashlight to the sample, substantial variability in the amount of illumination is expected between experiments. Furthermore, there is a limit to the number of flashlights a single person can operate in an experiment. This restricts the experimen...

Optogenetic tools have been gaining popularity, in part because they can be used to decipher the wiring of signaling pathways1-4. They are based on the ability of photoactivatable proteins to change their conformation and binding affinity when illuminated with light. Fusing these proteins to signaling elements allows for the specific regulation of a single player within complex intracellular signaling pathways5-12. Consequently, a signaling pathway can be studied with high temporal and spatial resolution.
Most cell-based optogenetic studies utilize microscopy-based methods combined with culturing in the presence of light, followed by biochemical analysis11,12. In contrast, a flow cytometer singularizes cells along a capillary and measures cell size, granularity and fluorescence intensities. This method has major advantages over microscopy or biochemical methods, including the ability to analyze thousands of living cells at single-cell resolution in a very short time. Hence, it is desirable to combine optogenetics with flow cytometry.
To our knowledge, there is no established protocol for optogenetic flow cytometry. A broadly accepted procedure is to manually illuminate cells from outside the reaction tube with flashlight devices. However, manual illumination in the flow cytometer requires the light to pass through the reaction tube and, for live cell imaging, a cylindrical, heated water chamber. This causes substantial light scattering and loss of light. Moreover, the light intensity provided by manual illumination is not reproducible between experiments (angle, distance, etc.) and there is a practical limit to the number of wavelengths in one experiment.
By constructing the LED Thermo Flow device, we were able to overcome these limitations. With this device, cells can be illuminated with specific wavelengths in a temperature-controlled manner during flow cytometric measurements. This allows for precise and reproducible amounts of light within and between experiments.
To demonstrate the utility of our device in vivo, we recorded the fluorescence signal of Dronpa in Ramos B cells during photoswitching. Ramos B cells are derived from a human Burkitt&#39;s lymphoma. Dronpa is a fluorescent protein that exists as a monomer, dimer or tetramer. In its monomeric form, it is non-fluorescent. Illumination with 400 nm light induces dimerization and tetramerization and renders the Dronpa protein fluorescent. This process can be reversed by illumination with 500 nm light. The Dronpa protein has been used to control the function and location of signaling proteins4,13.
Here, we expressed a Dronpa-Linker-Dronpa protein in Ramos B cells to study photoswitching of Dronpa in a flow cytometer. Using our device, we were able to efficiently and reproducibly photoswitch Dronpa while recording its fluorescence intensity in real time. This method provides substantial advantages over current illumination protocols with manual illumination and significantly broadens the experimental repertoire for optogenetic tools and cage compounds. Using our device will significantly simplify and accelerate the discovery and development of novel optogenetic tools.

LED Thermo Flow &#8212; Combining Optogenetics with Flow Cytometry

Optogenetic tools allow isolated, functional investigations of almost any signaling molecule within complex signaling pathways. A major obstacle is the controlled delivery of light to the cell sample and hence the most popular tools for optogenetic studies are microscopy-based cell analyses and in vitro experiments. The flow cytometer has major advantages over a microscope, including the ability to rapidly measure thousands of cells at single cell resolution. However, it is not yet widely used in optogenetics. Here, we present a device that combines the power of optogenetics and flow cytometry: the LED Thermo Flow. This device illuminates cells at specific wavelengths, light intensities and temperatures during flow cytometric measurements. It can be built at low cost and be used with most common flow cytometers. To demonstrate its utility, we characterized the photoswitching kinetics of Dronpa proteins in vivo and in real time. This protocol can be adapted to almost all optically controlled substances and substantially expands the set of possible experiments. More importantly, it will greatly simplify the discovery and development of new optogenetic tools.

Using the LED Thermo Flow with a Flow Cytometer
The functional core of the device is a cylindrical chamber in which LED lights are arranged in a circular manner pointing inward. This chamber can be connected to a water supply and pump, which allows for controlling the temperature of the LEDs, as well as the cell sample. The LEDs are connected to a transformer and hence the light intensity for each wavelength can be individually co...
