In this revised and updated second edition of a practical guide to flow cytometry, Teresa Hawley (American Red Cross) and Robert Hawley (The George Washington University) offer basic and clinical scientists a collection of cutting-edge protocols for solving a variety of flow cytometry problems. Experimentalists describe in step-by-step detail an array of readily reproducible, proven methods for deploying emerging flow cytometry technologies in many new applications, especially in the fields of stem cells, functional genomics and proteomics, and microbiology. Protocols offer laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of equipment and reagents, and troubleshooting tips.
