Flow cytometry
Flow cytometry allows the qualitative and quantitative analysis of cells, bacteria, organelles or particles under non-toxic high throughput conditions.
This technique allows the phenotyping of cells within a heterogeneous population by immunofluorescence. Various parameters such as size, granulosity and any components or functions that can be revealed by a fluorescent probe can be analyzed.
Flow cytometry also allows cell sorting according to cell physical or biological characteristics observed during the analysis.
