A fluorescent compound has the property of absorbing light energy at a range of specific wavelengths. This absorption of light causes electron to rise from the ground state to a higher energy level (excited state). The excited electron quickly decays to its ground state while releasing the excess energy in the form of photon of light. This transition of energy is called fluorescence.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Flow Cytometry: Definition
Flow cytometry is a standard laser-based technology that is used in the detection and
measurement of physical and chemical characteristics of cells or particles in a
heterogeneous fluid mixture.
The use of flow cytometry has increased over the years as it provides a rapid analysis of
multiple characteristics (both qualitative and quantitative) of the cells.
The properties that can be measured by this process include a particle’s size, granularity or
internal complexity, and fluorescence intensity.
Flow Cytometry: Principle
The basic principle of flow cytometry is based on the measurement of light scattered by
particles, and the fluorescence observed when these particles are passed in a stream
through a laser beam.
Figure: Schematic of a common flow cytometer, illustrating the fluidic, optical, and electronic
systems.
Light Scattering
Light scattering results when a particle deflects incident laser light. The extent to which this
happens depends on the physical properties of a particle, namely its size and internal
complexity.
Forward-scattered light (FSC) is proportional to the cell-surface area or size of the cell.
Side-scattered light (SSC) indicates the cell granularity or internal complexity of the cells.
2. Prepared by: Prachand M.S. Rajbhandari Page 2
Note: Please, for more details refer books
The measurements of FSC and SSC are used for the differentiation of cell types in a
heterogeneous cell population.
Fluorescence
Fluorescent markers used to detect the expression of cellular molecules such as
proteins or nucleic acids in a system.
The fluorescent compound absorbs light energy over a range of wavelengths that is
characteristic of that compound.
This absorption of light causes an electron in the fluorescent compound to be raised to a
higher energy level.
The excited electron quickly decays to its ground state, emitting the excess energy in the
form of fluorescence which is then collected by detectors.
The electronics system then converts the detected light signals into electronic signals that
can be processed by the computer.
Instrumentation/Parts of Flow Cytometry
A flow cytometer is made up of three main systems: fluidics, optics system, and electronics
system.
Fluidics:
The purpose of the fluidics system is to transport particles in a fluid stream to the laser
beam. To accomplish this, the sample is injected into a stream of sheath fluid (usually a
buffered saline solution) within the flow chamber.
Optics System:
The optical system of the cytometer consists of excitation optics and collection optics.
The excitation optics consists of the laser and lenses that are used to shape and focus the
laser beam to the flow of the sample.
The collection optics consist of a collection lens to collect light emitted after the particle
interacts with the laser beam and a system of optical mirrors that divert the specified
wavelengths of the collected light to designated optical detectors.
Electronics system:
The electronic system converts the signals from the detectors into digital signals that can be
read by a computer.
Applications/Uses
Flow Cytometry is used in several fields including molecular biology, pathology, immunology,
virology, plant biology, and marine biology. Some of the common application includes:
It is used in clinical labs for the detection of malignancy in bodily fluids like leukemia.
Cytometers like cell sorters can be used to separate the cells of interest in separate collection
tubes physically.

Note: Please, for more details refer books
It can be used for the detection of the content of DNA by using fluorescent markers.
Flow cytometers allow the analysis of replication cells by using fluorescent dye for four
different stages of the cell cycle.
Acoustic flow cytometers are used in the study of multi-drug resistant bacteria in the blood
and other samples.
The different stages of cell death, apoptosis, and necrosis can be detected by flow
cytometers based on the differences in the morphological and biochemical changes.
