Quality Control in Flow Cytometry

  • Chapter

Abstract

An important requirement for all flow cytometry is to have instrument and methodological quality control procedures in place. These procedures are used to ensure the quality of results generated. They must also be performed frequently enough to facilitate the identification of problem areas. This requires both internal quality control and external quality assessment procedures. The current issues of internal and external quality control and problems that may manifest during flow cytometric procedures are discussed here.
