What Are Some Applications of Flow Cytometry in Cell Biology?

Flow cytometry has a wide range of applications in cell biology, including:

Immunophenotyping: Identifying and quantifying different cell types in a heterogeneous population.
Cell Cycle Analysis: Determining the distribution of cells across different stages of the cell cycle.
Apoptosis Detection: Measuring the rate of programmed cell death in a cell population.
Intracellular Ion Concentration: Assessing levels of ions like calcium within cells.
Gene Expression: Measuring the expression levels of specific genes through fluorescently labeled antibodies or probes.
