Virginia Litwin and Philip Marder (Eds.): flow cytometry in drug discovery and development

This book comprehensively covers many aspects of the application of flow cytometry to drug discovery and development. A fully automated flow cytometric instrument featuring up to 18 simultaneous detection channels uniquely suits the crucial demands of high-throughput and high-content screening in modern drug discovery. Furthermore, cell-based testing, which is rapidly replacing conventional animal studies in drug-development processes, is appropriate for flow cytometry applications. The monograph explains how to realize the full potential of flow cytometry in different drug-development processes.
