Flow Cytometry

Definition

Flow cytometry is a laboratory technique used to analyze the physical and chemical properties of cells or particles suspended in a fluid stream. It uses laser-based technology to detect and measure characteristics such as cell size, granularity, and fluorescence, often labeled with specific antibodies to identify cellular components.

Relevance to the MedTech Industry

Flow cytometry is a powerful tool for diagnostics, research, and therapeutic monitoring. In the MedTech industry, it enables the detailed characterization of cells and molecules, contributing to advancements in areas such as immunology, oncology, and regenerative medicine. It is also critical in the development and quality control of biopharmaceuticals.
