Multicolor flow cytometry
- In this collection:
Flow cytometry is a powerful laser-based technology commonly used for cell counting, cell sorting and biomarker detection. Modern flow cytometers have come a long way since the first impedance-based flow cytometry device was patented in 1953. Due to developments in hardware, software and new fluorescent reagents it has now become possible to measure multiple parameters of individual cells with enhanced efficiency and quality and, notably, to generate more data with a smaller sample size than would be required for serial analysis. How have the advances of modern multicolor flow cytometry driven research forward, especially in the field of immunology?
The collection is free thanks to support from BD Biosciences.
Registration for the sponsor's webcast is now available.
