FLOW CYTOMETRY

Domain	Definition
Health	Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

Medicine	A technique used for optical analysis and electrohydrodynamical separation of cells and metaphase chromosomes based on their light scatter and fluorescence signals. After labelling with fluorescent dyes, chromatin can be analyzed quantitatively for DNA content, base composition and structural proteins. Source: European Union. (references)
