Normal Applications of Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry has various uses that can greatly improve scientific research and the development of drugs and therapeutics. These uses can be for providing additional details such as the mechanism of action or cytokine profiling. They may also be fundamental for the research such as sorting out the cells needed for the experiment or determining the immunological effects of treatment. The many applications of flow cytometry have resulted in academia, biotech, pharmaceutical, and clinical labs all taking advantage of this technology. There are a number of applications for flow cytometry, including, but not limited to: immunophenotyping, transfection efficiency determination, apoptosis measurement, cell cycle analysis, fluorescent intensity, and cell proliferation.
