Outline
• Introduction to Flow Cytometry
• Application Examples
3
What is Flow Cytometry?
• Flow = Fluid
• Cyto = Cell
• Metry = Measurement
• A variety of measurements are made on cells,
cell organelles, and other objects suspended in
a liquid and flowing at rates of several
thousands per second through a flow chamber.
4
Particle Size
• Detection range: 0.5~50µm

5
What Can a Flow Cytometer Tell Us About a Cell?
• Its relative size (Forward Scatter—FSC)
• Its relative granularity or internal complexity (Side Scatter—SSC)
• Its relative fluorescence intensity

Optics
• Excitation optics– Lasers
− Lenses to shape and focus the laser beam
• Collection optics– A collection lens to collect light emitted from the
article-laser beam interaction
– A system of optical mirrors and filters to route specified wavelengths of emitted light to designated optical detectors

PermeabilisationIntracellular Staining
To enhance the accumulation of intracellular cytokines.
Monensin: Cytokines accumulate in the ER
Brefeldin A: in Golgi complex.
To maintain structural integrity.
Formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde
Keep the protein structure and doesn't change the
(accessibility of the) epitopes too much

Sample Preparation
• Ethanol fixation-- Long term storage
• Detergent/Hypotonic cell permeabilization-- Better resolution-- Compatible with multicolor analysis if mild detergent is used
• Analysis in live cells-- For cell sorting
54
DNA Dye Selection
• PI: The most popular DNA dye with high specificity; excited by 488nm blue laser
• 7-AAD: Alternative blue-excited dye for multicolor staining; less specificity
• DAPI: UV excitation with high specificity; for both
fixed and un-fixed cells
• Hoechst: UV excitation with high specificity; for
un-fixed cells

1. RNase Activity
2. Cells v.s PI Concentration Consistency
3. Sample Filtration (35um Filter)

Advantages of Bead-Based Immunoassays
• Analyze multiple analytes simultaneously
• Reduced sample volume requirements
• Reduced hands-on time by parallel analysis of samples
• Wide dynamic range of fluorescence detection (requires fewer sample dilutions)
