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 ...

Flow cytometry is not just a technique. It has matured into a scientific field, one that has become virtually indispensable for most areas of biomedical research. Some of its more well-known ...

This technology has vast potential to help patients but remains underutilized and underappreciated. The tools are there. What’s lacking are harmonized controls, regulatory guidelines and database ...

How do we “name” a cell and assign its identity? How do we know that we are all talking about the same cells? How do we agree on what it takes to confidently correlate previous with current research ...

After five decades of use, flow cytometry is entrenched in biomedical science. Besides enabling the quick processing of cells in suspension, flow cytometry provides quantitative results across ...

One of the primary objectives for the application of flow cytometry in any testing environment should be measurement assurance, i.e., the generation of reliable and reproducible results. This goal can ...

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 ...
