Flow Cytometry Applications for Blood Immunophenotyping Immunophenotyping refers to the process of detecting expressed protein markers to identify and quantify specific subsets of cells within a heterogeneous population. Flow cytometry is the most common method of...
Tandem Dyes The commercial availability of antibody-linked fluorescent dyes has expanded rapidly over the past decade. Where researchers were once limited to a handful of common dyes (FITC, PE, APC, PerCP, etc.), they can now choose from an extensive list of...
Flow Virometry Multicolor flow cytometry can be used to detect and characterize viral antigens. This technique, called flow virometry, allows researchers to define viral particle profiles and better understand the relationship between infectivity and transmissibility...
Image Flow Cytometry Image flow cytometry (IFC) is a technique that combines fluorescent immunostaining and microfluidics with powerful digital imaging software. Like flow cytometers, image cytometers analyze heterogeneous cell populations across multiple parameters...
The replication crisis, or data irreproducibility crisis, is now a well-established problem across all scientific disciplines. This inability for researchers to replicate published experimental results exposes data integrity issues and risks potentially faulty...
Flow Cytometer/Cell Sorter Instrument Types Flow cytometers and cell sorters are two powerful tools for the accurate and efficient characterization of cells. Both instrument types measure forward scatter (FSC), side scatter (SSC) and multiple fluorescent parameters...
