The UAB Flow Cytometry Lab is home to a staff of medical laboratory professionals who perform complex testing using state-of-the-art flow cytometry equipment. This testing, through research, education ...

Flow cytometry is a widely used analytical technique that distinguishes between cell populations depending on the presence or absence of chosen markers. However, the number of markers that can be ...

Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...

How do we “name” a cell and assign its identity? How do we know that we are all talking about the same cells? How do we agree on what it takes to confidently correlate previous with current research ...

Setting up reliable controls is one of the priorities that any scientist should be concerned with when engaging in scientific research and experimentation. Without controls, it is nearly impossible to ...

Flow cytometry can be used to measure a number of characteristics of a population of cells and refers to the process of passing cells individually through a single or series of laser beams adjacent to ...

Flow cytometry is a way to look closely at the features of cells or particles. A sample of blood or tissue goes into a machine called a cytometer. In less than a minute, a computer can analyze ...

Nanotechnology has provided a plethora of scientific fields with new modes of operation and thinking that were not considered possible even a couple of decades ago. However, proper analysis and ...
