Since its creation near the university hospital complex of La Timone / La Conception in Marseille, BioCytex has been interested in standardization in flow cytometry. Inter-laboratory reproducibility, reproducibility over time, determination of positivity and/or negativity thresholds are important parameters that can be determined using quantitative flow cytometry. This is the expertise of Biocytex. Since its first commercial success (QIFIKIT®), BioCytex has focused on improving its quantitative flow cytometry technique and adapting it to the analysis of blood platelets (PLATELET range), leukocytes and red blood cells (CELLQUANT & REDQUANT ranges).
