Flow Cytometry: Let the Cells Flow

By Vandana Sharma

Flow cytometry, let’s decipher its mystery

 

tagged with fluorescent dyes

single cells flow in symmetry

passing through the laser light

 

cells scatter the light

forward and side

 

forward scatter depicts size

side scatter, granularity

 

enlightening us

with the 

physical and chemical features of cells

 

Flow cytometry – a prized possession for clarity!
