Summary Introduction
Flow cytometry is used to count and examine the mixture of various cells. The cells are suspended in a liquid or fluid and that suspension is injected into this instrument. An electron detector helps to sort cells based on defined criteria such as size, shape, and fluorescent properties of cells.
