Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry is a technology that simultaneously measures and analyzes multiple physical characteristics of single particles, usually cells, as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light.

Flow cytometry is adaptive to studying many types of biological questions.

Phenotyping

• Cell lineage
• Activation status
• Adhesion, migration, and homing capacity

Functional Assays

• Binding assay
• Intracellular cytokines
• Phosphorylation of proteins
• Cellular proliferation

DNA Studies

• Stages of cell cycle
• Apoptosis
