Flow Cytometer

Flow cytometers are instruments used to analyze cells within a solution and provide multi-parameter analysis capabilities. A flow cytometer instrument is often comprised of a fluidic system to transport cells in solution, lenses and filters, as well as a laser or other light source to provide scattered and fluorescent light that is then analyzed by a detector. Flow cytometer detectors commonly include photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes. Used extensively throughout the life sciences industry, flow cytometers provide users with a wealth of information such as the determination of cell characteristics and function, biomarker discovery, treatment and diagnosis information, cell counting and or sorting, and many others. When comparing flow cytometers, ensure that the excitation wavelength and flow rate are compatible with your specific assay. Additionally, many flow cytometers can accommodate several sample formats such as tubes or microplates, and should be considered to ensure smooth integration with your current processes.
