Flow Cytometry (PDF)

Flow cytometry continually amazes scientists with its
ever-expanding utility. Advances in flow cytometry have opened new
directions in theoretical science, clinical diagnosis, and medical
practice. The new edition of Flow Cytometry: First
Principles provides a thorough update of this now classic text,
reflecting innovations in the field while outlining the fundamental
elements of instrumentation, sample preparation, and data analysis.

Flow Cytometry: First Principles, Second Edition explains
the basic principles of flow cytometry, surveying its primary
scientific and clinical applications and highlighting
state-of-the-art techniques at the frontiers of research. This
edition contains extensive revisions of all chapters, including new
discussions on fluorochrome and laser options for multicolor
analysis, an additionalsection on apoptosis in the chapter on DNA,
and new chapters onintracellular protein staining and cell sorting,
including high-speed sorting and alternative sorting methods, as
well as traditional technology. This essential resource:

* Assumes no prior knowledge of flow cytometry

* Progresses with an informal, engaging lecture style from
simpleto more complex concepts

* Offers a clear introduction to new vocabulary, principles of
instrumentation, and strategies for data analysis

* Emphasizes the theory relevant to all flow cytometry, with
examples from a variety of clinical and scientific fields

Flow Cytometry: First Principles, Second Edition provides
scientists, clinicians, technologists, and students with the
knowledge necessary for beginning the practice of flow cytometry
and for understanding related literature.
