The Advanced Immunohaematology and Flowcytometry Lab started functioning from 6th October 2011 as a joint venture between clinical haematology, lab haematology and nanosciences.
Flourescence activated cell sorting or flowcytometry is a technique which provides very rapid, multiparametric, single cell analysis and sorting.
It is a state of the art tool which aids in the rapid and accurate diagnosis of many haematological diseases including malignancies and immunodeficiencies.
