Few and Far Between: Tools and Strategies for Rare-Event Detection Using Flow Cytometry
20 Oct 2015This application note presents a few major obstacles in rare-cell detection, specific strategies to address them, and examples of successful rare-cell analysis by flow cytometry. It is also demonstrated that acoustic focusing cytometry can dramatically increase sample acquisition rates compared with conventional flow cytometry, enabling a larger number of rare cells to be analyzed in a single experiment.
