A flow cytometer is an analytical instrument that measures and characterises cells or particles in a fluid stream using lasers and optical detectors. It provides high-throughput, multiparametric data on cell size, complexity, and fluorescence, making it essential for applications in immunology, cell biology, and clinical diagnostics.

The flow cytometer is used to analyse physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles as they pass individually through a laser beam. It provides rapid, quantitative measurements of cell size, granularity, and fluorescence, enabling applications such as immunophenotyping, cell counting, and viability assessment.
