It is widely applied in clinical diagnostics for immunophenotyping, especially in diagnosing blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. In research, it is used to study cell cycle, apoptosis, and protein expression.
Transplant medicine uses flow cytometry for HLA typing and cross-matching. In the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, it supports drug development by assessing cell health, function, and response to treatments.
It is also used in microbiology to detect and sort microorganisms. The technique is valued for its speed, precision, and ability to analyze thousands of cells per second.
