Flow Cytometer

Introduction

Flow cytometer is designed for the rapid and precise analysis of cells and particles in a fluid suspension. It operates by suspending these particles in a stream of fluid and passing them through a laser beam, one at a time. The interaction between the laser light and the particles generates multiple signals, including forward scatter and side scatter to assess size and granularity, as well as fluorescent signals from labeled biomarkers. Flow cytometers can analyze thousands of particles per second, offering quantitative data about cell characteristics, including size, shape, complexity, and the presence of specific biomolecules.

FAQs

1. What parameters does Flow Cytometer measure?

Flow Cytometer measures specialized physical/chemical parameters with high accuracy, suitable for laboratory analysis and quality control.

2. What are the key advantages of Flow Cytometer?

Flow Cytometer has precise control systems, stable performance, and complies with international standards (ISO/ASTM/CE) for reliable long-term use.

3. How to maintain Flow Cytometer?

Calibrate with standard solutions every 3-6 months; clean probes after use; store sensors in proper conditions (e.g., pH electrodes in storage solution).
