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 ...

Although established more than 30 years ago, the field of flow cytometry continues to grow and advance. It remains an indispensable tool for clinicians and researchers. The “Northwest Regional ...

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, ...

Scientists prepare samples as single cell suspensions and labels components of interest with fluorescent antibodies or other probes. The cytometer uses pumps to draw the sample through tubing to ...

Subjectivity in flow-cytometry data analysis has long been a challenge. Recent advancements in high-speed camera capabilities have led to the integration of morphological features with traditional ...

Scientists use multicolor flow cytometry to identify and characterize targeted cellular subpopulations by using multiple fluorescent markers. The technology has seen rapid advancements in recent years ...

Larry Sklar (left) is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico (UNM; NM, USA) whose interest in flow cytometry as a tool for drug discovery led to the development of ...

In 1986, the UAB Department of Medicine obtained institutional funds for the purchase of a FACStar four-parameter flow cytometer and cell sorter with a single laser. This instrument served as the ...

Immunological research often involves managing complex and delicate samples, such as limited patient biopsies, rare cell populations, sensitive cells, and large volumes of naturally diluted samples.

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 ...
