One of the fundamentals of flow cytometry is the ability to measure the properties of individual particles. When a sample enters a flow cytometer, the particles are randomly distributed in the 3-D space of the sample line, the diameter of which is significantly larger …
Flow cytometry is a technique used to measure properties of cells in a fluid as they pass through one or more laser beams. Our guide provides everything you need to know about this application, from basics to multicolor panel building.
The overview module introduces the basics of flow cytometry. After viewing this module, you will be able to answer the questions: What is flow cytometry? What types of samples are suitable for analysis in a flow cytometer? What cell characteristics can a cytometer measure? What are the three subsystems in a flow cytometer?
This is course 1 of a 10-part fundamentals of flow cytometry series. It is aimed for anyone who would like to have a detailed understanding about the basics of flow cytometry and stay ahead in all experiments.
Flow cytometry is a technology that simultaneously measures and then analyzes multiple physical characteristics of single particles, usually cells, as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light.
A flow cytometer is composed of fluidic, optic, and electronic systems. This chapter explains the role of each system, and how they work together. You will also learn the basics of electrostatic cell sorting.
Flow cytometry is a cell analysis technique that was first used in the 1950s to measure the volume of cells in a rapidly flowing fluid stream as they passed in front of a viewing aperture.
When you break down the term “Flow Cytometry”, the definition jumps out at you: it is the measurement (metry) of cells (cyto) in a fluid (flow). With flow cytometry, we detect and measure the physical, chemical and fluorescent characteristics of cells …
In this guide, we’ll take you through flow cytometry basics, principles, protocols, and analysis to give you an advanced understanding of how flow cytometry works, when it is valuable, and how to do it.
What is Flow Cytometry? •Single-cell analysis. •Uses monoclonal antibodies to tag markers on/inside the cells. •Fluorescent molecules (flurochromes) are bound to the antibodies. •Flurochromes are excited by lasers at specific wavelengths. •Fluorochromes emit light at a higher wavelength, which is read by the cytometer.
