Preferred term
FLOW CYTOMETRY
Definition
- "Cytometry refers to the measurement of physical and/or chemical characteristics of cells, or, by extension, of other biological particles. Flow Cytometry is a process in which such measurements are made while the cells or particles pass, preferably in single file, through the measuring apparatus in a fluid stream. Flow Sorting extends flow cytometry by using electrical or mechanical means to divert and collect cells with one or more measured characteristics falling within a range or ranges of values set by the user." This definition for Flow Cytometry is adapted from the third edition of: Howard Shapiro: "Practical Flow Cytometry". John Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York. (en)
