Review
Praise for the Second Edition:
"The second edition of Flow Cytometry provides a comprehensive and detailed foundation in the application
of this diverse and rapidly expanding technology. The variety and scope of topics covered in this two-volume set
are too large to cover in detail. The second edition of Flow Cytometry provides the investigator with a concise
compilation of new and updated applications and procedures, updated references and a directory of the principal
contributors to the field. The additions and improvements to the second edition are evidence of the impact this
technology will continue to have on biological and medical sciences for years to come."

Summary
Flow Cytometry, Second Edition provides a complete and comprehensive two volume laboratory guide and reference
for the use of the most current methods in flow cytometry sample preparation and analysis. These essential techniques
are described in a step-by-step format, supplemented by explanatory sections and trouble-shooting tips. The methods
are accessible to all researchers and students in biomedical science and biology who must use flow cytometry to
separate and analyze cells.
Completely revised and greatly expanded since the publication of the First Edition in 1990
Unique comprehensive methodological coverage
In depth treatment of procedures, including a description of each procedure's:
Theoretical foundations
Critical aspects
Possible pitfalls
Written by authors with extensive experience who:
Developed or modified the techniques
Describe their experience with different instruments and applications to different cell systems
Are the Who's Who in Flow Cytometry
Methods cover cell death and cell cycle analyses
Practical, handbook-style presentation works in lab or classroom
Color plates illustrate techniques
