Flow cytometry is a powerful and widely used technology that allows for the rapid analysis of physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles as they flow in a fluid stream through a beam of light, typically a laser. This technique is extensively used in immunology, hematology, oncology, and molecular biology for research and clinical applications.

Flow cytometry is capable of analyzing individual cells and providing detailed information on a cell-by-cell basis. This technology can process hundreds to millions of cells per second, making it suitable for large-scale studies. It allows for simultaneous measurement of multiple parameters (e.g., cell size, granularity, and fluorescence intensity) from each cell. Flow cytometry uses fluorescently labeled antibodies or dyes to stain specific cellular components, enabling the detection and quantification of various cell types and biomarkers.

Common applications include immunophenotyping, cell sorting, cell cycle analysis, apoptosis detection, and diagnosis and monitoring in clinical settings.

Benefits of flow cytometry are it’s precision and accuracy, speed and efficiency, versatility, and multiplexing capability. As such, it is a flexible and powerful tool that offers detailed insights into cellular properties and functions. 

How Curiox Can Help

Automated cell preparation by C-FREE and Laminar Wash technologies yields cleaner and clearer data for flow cytometry. With fast, reproducible results yielding increased cell retention and viability you will have superior data quality as well as time savings via automated workflows. In some workflows the centrifugation and supernatant removal steps (e.g., aspirating and flicking) are unnecessary, thereby hands-on sample handling time is reduced.

For scientists who believe that quantitative flow cytometry is critical to cell therapy, immuno-oncology and other fields where cell analysis is vital, Curiox technologies support data consistency and reproducibility needs that traditional sample preparation methods (i.e., manual cell washing, centrifugation) cannot. These technologies significantly improve debris removal, increasing the retention and viability of rare cell populations.
