Why Are Flow Cytometers Important in Cancer Research?
Flow cytometers offer several advantages in cancer research:
1. High Throughput: They can analyze thousands of cells per second, providing rapid results. 2. Multiparametric Analysis: They can simultaneously measure multiple parameters of each cell, such as size, granularity, and marker expression. 3. Quantitative Data: They provide precise, quantitative data on the heterogeneity of cancer cells.
