Overview

Flow cytometry is a technique that rapidly performs analysis of single cells that are suspended in a solution by using lasers. It identifies markers present on the surface of the cells as well as inside the cells. Commonly this technique is used to type the cancers arising from blood & bone marrow called Leukemias and Lymphomas. By this method leukemias / lymphomas can be typed as per their origin from different types of white blood cells namely B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, NK cells & other cells like histiocytes. Kappa & Lambda light chains are type of immunoglobulins which are expressed by tumors arising from plasma cells, a type of white blood cells.
