Which cell analysis technique is used to rapidly analyze single cells or particles as they flow through single or multiple lasers while suspended in a buffered salt-based solution?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Flow cytometry.
Flow cytometry is the cell analysis technique used to rapidly analyze single cells or particles as they flow through single or multiple lasers while suspended in a buffered salt-based solution. This method allows for the simultaneous multiparametric analysis of the physical and chemical characteristics of thousands of particles per second. It is widely used in various fields including immunology, pathology, and molecular biology for applications such as cell sorting, biomarker detection, and diagnosis of diseases.
