The World Health Organisation (WHO) recognizes immunophenotyping as one of the basic tenets of its Classification system of Haematolymphoid neoplasias. Flow cytometry is a powerful, rapid and convenient technique for the immunophenotypic identification as well as monitoring of many hematopoietic neoplasms.
The technique analyzes the physical and chemical characteristics of particles in a fluid as it passes through at least one laser. Cell components are fluorescently labeled and then excited by the laser to emit light at varying wavelengths. It is routinely used in the diagnosis of health disorders, especially blood cancers.
