Un cytomètre en flux permet de compter et d'observer des particules microscopiques comme les cellules, les composantes de cellules et les molécules biologiques. Pour ce faire, on étiquette ces particules avec des marqueurs fluorescents, on les met en suspension dans un fluide, puis on mesure leurs taille et caractéristiques avec des capteurs optiques. 5, record 1, French, - cytom%C3%A8tre%20en%20flux
