Abstract
One of the oldest cornerstones of flow cytometry is the measurement of nucleic acids. Next to phenotyping, cell cycle distribution and ploidy analysis have been the most extensively used flow cytometric methods in the clinical laboratory. Basic researchers have employed these nucleic acid measurements for years to look at the population dynamics of cell activation, various effects of drugs on the cell cycle, and differentiation/quiescence of developing cells. The ability to sort chromosomes has revolutionized genetic mapping.
