Consultation & Method Development in Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry is a powerful tool for quantifying and characterizing cells, particles, and extracellular vesicles. However, obtaining reliable results requires careful planning, appropriate marker selection, and a quality-assured approach. FBMLab offers advisory services and methodological support for research and clinical laboratories seeking to establish or optimize their flow cytometry methods.

Support from Concept to Validated Method

Every analysis begins with a clear research question. We assist in translating it into a methodological plan—from panel design and antibody selection to optimization of compensation and instrument settings. With our expertise in both research and clinical applications, we provide practical solutions to achieve high sensitivity, reproducibility, and clear data interpretation.

Examples of Areas Where We Provide Support:

• Design of flow cytometry panels and marker strategy

• Optimization of sample handling and staining protocols

• Establishment of validation plans and quality routines

• Review and improvement of existing methods

• Documentation according to GLP and clinical standards

Quality Assurance and Standardization

For a flow cytometry analysis to be viable for diagnostics, research studies, or development projects, robust controls and clear performance criteria are essential. FBMLab provides guidance on method validation, establishment of QC routines, and implementation of internal controls. Our focus is on creating a methodology that is both scientifically robust and practically feasible in a laboratory setting.

Experience and Application

FBMLab has extensive experience in flow cytometry within immunology, cell biology, and extracellular vesicles. By combining research-based knowledge with laboratory practice, we assist laboratories in realizing their ideas—from the development phase to reliable, validated analysis.
