A wide variety of samples are amenable to flow cytometry. However, the operator must ensure that there are no large clumps of cells present in the sample as these could block the flow cell. If reliable measurements are to be made then the sample must be presented as monodisperse cells, rather than as clumps. Two cells that are stuck together will appear as one large cell to the flow cytometer.
