Quantitative flow cytometry (QFCM) is a specialized technique that enables precise measurement of the absolute number of specific molecules (e.g., receptors, antigens, or intracellular targets) on individual cells or particles. Understanding flow cytometry is essential, as standard methods typically provide qualitative data, where the relative fluorescence intensity is used to…
