Practical Flow Cytometry

This complete reference provides the background science and discussion of the vast biomedical applications quantitative analytical cytology using laser-activated detection and cell sorting. Now in its fourth edition, this
has been expanded to provide full coverage of the broad spectrum of applications in molecular biology biotechnology today. New to this edition are chapters automated analysis of array technologies, compensation,
high-speed sorting, reporter molecules, and multiplex apoptosis assays, along with fully updated and revised references and a list of suppliers. The Fourth Edition of the discipline’s benchmark text offers a variety of new features, including …......... Expanded coverage of new commercial instrumentation with detailed descriptions of new analog and digital techniques for signal processing and fluorescence compensation; A completely revised introduction, emphasizing the interrelationships of flow and static cytometry and microscopy; Links to supplementary online resources.
