Project: Nomenclature, Properties and Units in Flow Cytometry

Objective

Flow Cytometry is being increasingly used in the clinical laboratory to fractionate and characterize cell populations such as lymphocytes. The development of this new technology has led to the introduction of new terms, quantities and units, relating to the method (e.g. optics) and to the results of measurement (e.g. cellular DNA content). It is essential to try to achieve common nomenclature, quantities and units, and to ensure that these are coherent with the existing nomenclature recommended by IUPAC.
