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 ...

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 ...

Flow cytometry allows for the analysis of single cells in a population. This technique is analogous to microscopy, but instead of producing an image, a flow cytometer provides automated quantification ...

Housed inside BD Biosciences’ latest cell sorter, the BD FACSymphony™ S6 Cell Sorter*, is an array of sophisticated optical technologies. There is space for up to 9 different lasers, along with ...

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 ...

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 ...

Flow cytometry detects and measures the chemical, fluorescent, and physical characteristics of cells and particles passing in a fluid stream. This technique analyzes cells by passing them through ...

Flow cytometry remains a critical technology for the high-throughput analysis of single cells in complex populations. Attention to good analysis practices is more important than ever due to the recent ...

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 ...
