Flow cytometry is an invaluable method for biomedical research. Since its development over 50 years ago, technology for flow cytometry has progressed rapidly, allowing for the detection of more and ...

Flow cytometry detects cells or particles in suspension by separating them in a narrow, rapidly flowing stream of liquid. The sample is passed through a laser, which detects properties such as size, ...

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 ...

Much of what biologists know about the human immune system has been — quite literally — illuminated by flow cytometry. For more than 70 years, this technology has evolved to become one of immunology’s ...

Flow cytometry detects and measures the chemical and physical properties and characteristics of particles or cells within a population. Samples are suspended in a liquid, held in a tube, and counted ...
