Abstract
Immunophenotyping of acute leukemia is one of the most important clinical application of Flow cytometery. The aim of this work is to review recent advances in flow cytometery methods, quality control, troubleshooting and its prevention and data analysis of acute leukemia. Multiparameter flow cytometery is a useful adjunct to morphology and cytochemistry and it is an invaluable tool in the diagnosis of acute leukemia.
