MULTIPARAMETRIC FLOW CYTOMETRY
May 22, 2020
What is Multiparametric Flow Cytometry?
“Multiparameter flow cytometry is a powerful analytical and preparative tool (1,2). It enables the rapid measurement of multiple physical and chemical
characteristics of individual cells or particles as they flow past beams of laser light in a focused fluid stream. Using flow cytometry, defined cell types can be
identified within mixed cell populations and studied separately or within the context of functional intercellular interactions. Flow cytometers that provide cell
sorting capabilities can identify specific cell types and physically separate them in bulk or individually (e.g., through indexed cell sorting (3)), into different
groups for further study.”
“In addition to cell analysis, flow cytometry has also extended to the analysis of subcellular organelles and even chromosomes (4), as well as
numerous molecules present in cellular lysates or biological fluids (5). Flow cytometric bead-based assays are well suited for performing multiplex
immunoassays (5). These assays are capable of measuring multiple analytes within small, sometimes very precious, samples such as biological
fluids obtained from multicellular organisms or cultured prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells (6-9).”
