flow cytometry
Definition
A laser-based technology for analyzing physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light. Flow cytometry measures multiple parameters simultaneously (size, granularity, fluorescence from labeled antibodies) at rates of thousands of cells per second, enabling immunophenotyping, cell cycle analysis, and sorting (FACS).
In Practice
flow cytometry is widely used in cell biology and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
