Applications of FLOW CYTOMETRY

Flow cytometry is a widely used technology that simultaneously measures and analyzes multiple physical characteristics of single cells as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light. The properties measured include cells’ relative size and granularity or internal complexity, and the relative fluorescence intensity associated with cellular marker expression. Flow cytometry relies on the use of fluorescently-conjugated antibodies to bind to and recognize specific cellular markers and to fluorescent dyes that bind directly to nucleic acids. The technology has applications in numerous fields, making it an essential analysis tool in diagnostic, clinical, and research labs. Flow cytometry is used for:
