Book Description

ISBN-10: 0471562351 | ISBN-13: 978-0471562351 | Publication Date: April 30, 1990 | Edition: 2

Revised and updated, this Second Edition of a classic text describes and evaluates--in greater detail--the most recent practical applications of flow cytometry technique to basic cellular biological investigations and clinical research on human neoplasms. Ideal for the experienced researcher as well as the novice, this informative book offers state-of-the-art reviews of all aspects of flow cytometry. New articles highlight investigations of higher plants, the flow cytometry of microorganisms, and measurements of intracellular ionized calcium and membrane potential--illustrating techniques of specimen preparation, measurement and analysis for each. New chapters examine applications of flow cytometry to medical genetics, genetic toxicology, and ultrasensitive analysis of molecules in solution. The Second Edition goes beyond the traditional analysis of DNA histograms with BrdU incorporation and DNA denaturability to identify and analyze the cell cycle more precisely. New or rewritten chapters discuss the importance of flow cytometry for measurements of nucleic acids, chromatin, and DNA and cover the cytometry of sperm and the cytopathic effects of viruses.

This review is from: Flow Cytometry and Sorting (Hardcover)

As a student working in the area of applied optics as related to flow cytometry, I had many questions to ask about the principles of operation and aplication of flow cytometry.

This text provided a wealth of knowledge in the field, from historical accounts of flow, through general principles of operation and overviews of technoligical developments and commercial instruments, to the biological application of these instruments to clinical and research laboratories.

'Flow Cytometry & Sorting' is excellent both as an introductory text and reference guide for flow cytometer developers, users, and researchers.
