Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry is a laser-based technique used to detect and measure physical and chemical features of cells in a fluid mixture, allowing for the identification of particle size, granularity, and fluorescence intensity. The process involves hydrodynamic focusing, light scattering, and fluorescence detection, with applications in pharmaceuticals, regenerative medicine, and cancer research. Despite its advantages in measuring multiple parameters quickly, it requires complex instrumentation and precise sample preparation.
