First introduced in the 1950s, flow cytometry technique has gained significant attention in the past few decades because researchers have shown that it can overcome various challenges associated with conventional analytical techniques, including limited resolution of cellular subpopulations, lower sensitivity, labor-intensive and time-consuming protocols.
Additionally, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases has intensified research efforts, further driving demand for advanced and rapid analytical technologies that can more effectively elucidate disease morphology. In this context, flow cytometry’s ability to perform high-throughput, single cell analysis and accurately characterize heterogeneous cell populations has made it an essential tool in disease research and clinical diagnostics.
However, using this approach often involves operating complex and expensive flow cytometry instruments, which require highly trained professionals. Several small and mid-sized players usually lack the resources to make such significant investments. Therefore, many flow cytometry innovators now prefer to outsource, relying on specialty contract service providers or flow cytometry service providers to handle various aspects of flow cytometry.
