Flow cytometry is the quintessential high-throughput analysis technique. It enables rapid cell-by-cell analysis based on criteria of size, cellular content (granularity) and fluorescence. Depending on the equipment used, the analysis can be conducted based on criteria measuring up to 40 parameters simultaneously on cells in suspension.
