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 ...

Setting up reliable controls is one of the priorities that any scientist should be concerned with when engaging in scientific research and experimentation. Without controls, it is nearly impossible to ...

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 ...

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 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 is not just a technique. It has matured into a scientific field, one that has become virtually indispensable for most areas of biomedical research. Some of its more well-known ...

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 ...
