Go With the Flow: Clinical Insights Through Flow Cytometry

The role of flow cytometry in laboratory diagnostics continues to expand as the need for high through put cell analysis methods increases. The aim of this presentation is to provide a brief overview of the principles and panel design approaches germane to clinical flow cytometry. Additionally, clinical applications of various flow cytometric assays are explored.
