Flow cytometers are becoming the instrument of choice in a growing number of applications, including marine biology, cancer biology, drug screening, cell-cycle analysis, intracellular analysis, rare ...

Flow cytometry has become an essential analytical technique in the life sciences. Using this method, researchers can measure the chemical and physical characteristics of populations of cells and ...

With flow cytometry, as with many technologies that enjoy continuous use, we can see an evolution of capabilities. Spectral analysis, image capture, and artificial intelligence are just a few of the ...

Flow cytometry is a way to look closely at the features of cells or particles. A sample of blood or tissue goes into a machine called a cytometer. In less than a minute, a computer can analyze ...

Much of what biologists know about the human immune system has been — quite literally — illuminated by flow cytometry. For more than 70 years, this technology has evolved to become one of immunology’s ...

Flow cytometry detects cells or particles in suspension by separating them in a narrow, rapidly flowing stream of liquid. The sample is passed through a laser, which detects properties such as size, ...

Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...
