The quality of reference controls is critical for generating accurate compensation or unmixing matrices and correctly interpreting conventional or spectral flow cytometry data, respectively. Follow ...

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 is a way to look closely at the features of cells or particles. A sample of blood or tissue goes into a machine called a cytometer. In less than a minute, a computer can analyze ...

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 ...

Technological change is often driven by the needs of people. Flow cytometry is no different. The designs of instruments and processing techniques are evolving to meet the needs of researchers and drug ...

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 ...
