In the following quiz, we’re going to be learning all about the technological advancement that allows us to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of particles in a fluid while it passes through a laser – that’s right, we’re talking about the topic of flow cytometry. What do you know about this process and the reason why we use it? Take the quiz now to let us know! Good luck!
