Why use flow cytometry?

  • Thousands to millions of cells can be analyzed in a short period of time
  • Statistical information is obtained very quickly
  • Flexibility in the acquisition of data
  • Ability to reanalyze archived data
  • Increased sensitivity and specificity
  • Separate up to four target populations simultaneously

Flow Cytometry allows the simultaneous measurement of

  • Relative cell size
  • Internal cellular complexity
  • Relative fluorescence intensity
  • Multiple color/parameter analysis (up to 12 color, 14 parameter)
