Flow cytometry is used to detect and quantify both the chemical and physical characteristics of a population of cells or particles. It is employed in cell sorting, biomarker detection, cell counting, and protein engineering. Flow cytometry is widely used to diagnose various diseases, such as HIV and cancer. It is one of the key methods of cellular biology used in the field of molecular biology. There are different applications of flow cytometry in different fields, like the study of cancer, the study of the nervous system, the field of neuropharmacology, and even the study of the human body. The uses and applications of flow cytometry are increasing as more scientific advances are made in the field of various branches of science.
The key applications of flow cytometry are related to the study of the different cell types in the living organism. The method can be used to study single cells, the differentiation of single-cell types, and the populations of different cell types in the organism. Single cells are studied in terms of their nucleus, chromosomes, and the proteins that constitute them. Different cell types are studied for their sub-populations and the concentration of these sub-populations in the cytoplasm of the cells. The cytoplasm is the water-like substance in the cyst form in the cytoplasm of the cells. Flow cytometry can be used to study the expression levels of proteins in the cyst of the brain or other living cells.
