How do we “name” a cell and assign its identity? How do we know that we are all talking about the same cells? How do we agree on what it takes to confidently correlate previous with current research ...

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 allows for the analysis of single cells in a population. This technique is analogous to microscopy, but instead of producing an image, a flow cytometer provides automated quantification ...

The mission of flow cytometry and the single-cell core facility is to provide state-of-the-art equipment and services for UAB investigators to advance basic and clinical research.

As someone who has spent the last decade driving the advancement of flow cytometry technology and its real-world applications ...

Microscopy existed prior to flow cytometry and was an integral part of its development. A fluorescent microscope, in simple terms, is an enhanced light microscope which uses a light of higher ...

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 ...

One of the primary objectives for the application of flow cytometry in any testing environment should be measurement assurance, i.e., the generation of reliable and reproducible results. This goal can ...

The Flow Cytometry shared resource stays at the leading edge of technology. Close ties to industry allow us to offer users early access to new reagents and instrumentation. We help users realize a ...

The UAB Flow Cytometry Lab is home to a staff of medical laboratory professionals who perform complex testing using state-of-the-art flow cytometry equipment. This testing, through research, education ...
