Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, progressive, multi-system, life-threatening disease, and diagnosing it early in the clinical course is essential for optimizing management ...

If you work in cell biology or immunology, chances are that you're familiar with flow cytometry. This technique measures and analyzes biological cells by suspending them in a stream of fluid and ...

"What people don’t understand with respect to PNH testing in patients diagnosed with aplastic anemia is that you’re not really screening for 'PNH,' but rather looking for a small population of PNH ...

One of the primary objectives for the application of flow cytometry in any testing environment should be measurement assurance, i.e., the generation of reliable and reproducible results. This goal can ...

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) affects your bone marrow, where your body makes new blood cells. It can be hard to diagnose. For one thing, it's rare. And its symptoms look like those of ...

This technology has vast potential to help patients but remains underutilized and underappreciated. The tools are there. What’s lacking are harmonized controls, regulatory guidelines and database ...

Ilene C. Wetiz, MD, professor of clinical medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California, discusses the baseline characteristics of the case: "Our second case is how ...

Flow cytometry detects and measures the chemical and physical properties and characteristics of particles or cells within a population. Samples are suspended in a liquid, held in a tube, and counted ...

As for many antibody-based experiments, labeling challenges related to brightness, signal stability, target detection, and background noise are common roadblocks in flow cytometry. Scientists can ...

Flow cytometry remains a critical technology for the high-throughput analysis of single cells in complex populations. Attention to good analysis practices is more important than ever due to the recent ...
