Its use has broadened to include other areas, such as fetomaternal hemorrhage, immunodeficiencies, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, cellular therapy, and genetic variation to name but a few. Unlike other laboratory devices, flow cytometers present the technologist with many different settings for their use.
