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
