The decade saw the birth of the AIDS epidemic, and as attention focused on HIV, researchers needed a method to accurately and reproducibly characterize immune cells. Flow cytometry was suddenly thrust ...

Flow cytometry is a technique used to analyze cells for a variety of purposes, including cell counting, phenotyping, cell cycle assessment, and viability. The light produced by lasers in a flow ...

The BD Bioscience FACSDiscover S8 cell sorter, which is shown here in a biosafety cabinet, combines spectral flow cytometry and real-time spatial and morphological insights. The instrument offers ...

Flow cytometry, a widely used technique that sorts and analyzes cells in a fluid using a laser beam, is considered the “gold standard” for cell quantification and is extensively used in biomedical ...

The cell sorting power of flow cytometry is also often utilized to separate and collect cells bearing the desired features for culturing, which can then be used in cell proliferation assays.

This allows for a more comprehensive analysis of cells and can be used to identify subtle changes that would not be possible with classic flow cytometry. Moreover, it can be used to analyze large ...

For almost six decades, flow cytometry (FC) has been a cornerstone of clinical and laboratory research, with applications in a wide range of fields, including immune-phenotyping, diagnostics, cell ...

Flow cytometry is a technology for assaying labelled cells suspended in fluid and passed through a detector. The labels are usually fluorescent and used for counting and sorting the cells in a ...

They display data obtained by flow cytometry, a method for analyzing hundreds of thousands of individual cells based on their shape, consistency and other features. Once the domain of ...

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 uses fluorescent probes to identify and characterize cells or particles in suspension (e.g. cells, nuclei or chromosomes) by virtue of size, granularity and fluorescence ...
