Flow Cytometers in Egypt
Available Flow Cytometers Models

A flow cytometer is a sophisticated laboratory instrument that analyzes the physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles as they flow one by one through a beam of light. Imagine individual cells, suspended in a fluid, passing through a laser. The flow cytometer then measures how each cell interacts with this light, capturing key data points. This allows for the precise identification, enumeration, and characterization of different cell populations within a complex sample.

At its core, a flow cytometer operates by passing a stream of cells through one or more laser beams. As each cell intercepts a laser, it scatters light in different directions. Detectors then capture this scattered light (forward scatter, indicative of cell size, and side scatter, indicative of internal complexity) and also measure any fluorescence emitted by the cell. This fluorescence can be inherent to the cell or, more commonly, is introduced by fluorescently labeled antibodies that bind to specific cellular markers (antigens).

The data generated from each cell is then processed, allowing for the creation of scatterplots and histograms that visually represent the different cell populations based on their measured characteristics. This powerful analytical capability makes flow cytometry an indispensable tool across various scientific disciplines, particularly in clinical diagnostics and research.

In Egypt's rapidly evolving healthcare and research landscape, flow cytometry is an indispensable technology for a diverse range of institutions. From large-scale research initiatives to critical diagnostic applications, facilities requiring advanced cellular analysis are prime candidates for investing in flow cytometers. This technology empowers organizations to delve into the complexities of cell populations, offering insights crucial for disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and groundbreaking scientific discovery.
