Flow cytometry offers several advantages in histological studies:
- Speed: It can analyze thousands of cells per second, providing rapid results. - Quantitative Analysis: Flow cytometry offers precise quantitative data on multiple parameters simultaneously. - High Sensitivity and Specificity: It can detect rare cell populations and subtle differences in cell characteristics. - Multiparametric Analysis: Multiple fluorochromes can be used to label different cellular components, allowing simultaneous analysis of various markers.
