Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry has the capacity to measure multiple parameters on thousands of cells per second simultaneously, offering greater speed, precision and detail than most other cell analysis methods. Applications for flow cytometry are diverse, ranging from simple cell counting and viability to more complex studies of immune function, apoptosis, cancer, stem cells and drug discovery.

Flow cytometry is typically used to measure cell surface markers, such as those from immune mediated reactions in infectious diseases. It is a critical tool to measure them.

PPD has eight cytometry instruments and a staff of highly trained scientists to run the samples and interpret the data. We are also experienced in developing and running complicated cytometry assays.
