Flow cytometry studies the optical parameters emitted by particles (cells, cell fractions). Flow cytometers can study a series of individual particle parameters simultaneously, rapidly, and over a large number of individualized particles in suspension. Flow cytometers use lasers as a source of light excitation; therefore, it must be possible to label the particles with one or more fluorescent substances. Information is also collected on the size and structural complexity of each particle. This multiparametric study of each particle allows us to analyze subpopulations in complex samples using an electronic classification. Some cytometers are also equipped with modules for classifying and collecting particles of interest. The most important applications of flow cytometry include those related to the study of cell surface receptors, nuclear and cytoplasmic antigens, DNA content, enzymatic activity, cell integrity, and membrane permeability and flow. kicks. The cytometry platform has a wide range of flow cytometry and cell separation applications, and develops or implements new ones based on the demand of researchers. Its use has become widespread in the field of biomedicine (Hematology, Immunology, Pharmacology, Oncology, Microbiology, Genetics, etc.).
