Flow Cytometry
The Flow Cytometry Laboratory performs rapid identification and quantification of subsets of cells using laser-activated fluoresecent antibodies to cell surface markers. Using up to eight different markers simultaneously, abnormal populations of cells can be identified with a high level of sensitivity to aid in the diagnosis of leukemias and lymphomas. Other tests offered include quantitation of CD4 T-cells for monitoring of HIV, measurement of hematopoietic stem cells, measurement of maternal-fetal bleed, and evaluation of cellular subsets for immunodeficiency diagnosis.
