La Citometria com a eina per aprofundir en la complexitat dels organismes vius i les malalties

As its name indicates, flow cytometry (FCM) is a technique that performs
measurements (metry) on cells (cyto) in a flow system. A fluidic system facilitates
the flow of cells one-by-one for single-cell analysis to be used in
several multicolor applications for biology and for functional studies as
well as a broad range of research applications. This technology elegantly
combines the unique ability to rapidly isolate pure populations of cells or
particles with a specific set of biological characteristics. In combination
with modern molecular biology assays, experiments using very few cells
or even single cells can be conducted to systematically uncover an organism's
biocomplexity at its basic functional unit level, the cell.
