Flow cytometry is a set of automated technologies to count and sort cells, by measuring the physical and chemical characteristics of fairly large numbers of cells suspended in a fluid medium. A flow cytometer directs a flow of cells through a narrow tube, and uses lasers and other detection methods to identify and measure cells as they flow through the tube. The technology was developed in the 1970s and entered use in the 1980s, just as the HIV/AIDS epidemic began. During this early period the technology was also referred to as pulse cytophotometry or fluorescent activated cell sorting.
The use of flow cytometry has been used count and measure the CD4+/CD8+ ratio rapidly, replacing manual methods of sorting cells by hand under a microscope.
