Flow Cytometry at Aberystwyth
What is Flow Cytometry?
Cytometry refers to the measurement of the physical and chemical
characteristics of cells. By extension, flow cytometry refers to the technique
where such measurements are made as the cells pass in a fluid stream through a
measuring point surrounded by an array of detectors.
