Flow Cytometry and Cell Sorting (Springer Lab Manuals)

by Andreas Radbruch

The practical aspects of flow cytometry and sorting are emphasized in this book which introduces the beginner to the technology and provides tips and tricks for the advanced user. The clear structure makes it easy to address specific problems fast. The chapters cover the modern applications of these procedures, with emphasis on immunofluorescence (antibody-fluorochrome conjugation, staining principles and data evaluation); the isolation of specific chromosomes, cells and fragile, large particles by magnetic and fluorescence-activated sorting; cellular biochemistry; and the dynamics of proliferation. The methods have been field-tested in recent EMBO courses on flow cytometry.
