Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry is a powerful technique used in biological research that permits the rapid, accurate and quantitative analysis of single cells. This technology is applied in the study of chemistry as it allows researchers to investigate chemical components of a cellular system, such as the evaluation of cellular chromosomes, protein expression, albumin synthesis, and cell viability. In essence, flow cytometry relies on the generation of a stream of cells in a saline solution under pressure, typically through a small, narrow bore tube. At the same time, a laser shines on every cell in turn, producing a set of characteristic signals that show its physical and chemical properties. Cells with unique properties can then be separated from each other and studied further. Moreover, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeling techniques have enabled the utilization of flow cytometry to quantify cell-surface antigen expression for the analysis of the immune response in disease states, cytokine production assays, and lymphocyte subset analysis. In brief, flow cytometry is an invaluable tool for scientific research that allows for rapid and accurate cell analysis, characterization, and sorting with superb precision. This technology can unlock vital insights for chemical studies such as understanding the mechanisms of cellular pathology, delineating the characteristics of cellular components, and studying the variability of cellular components in a host of biological systems.
