Abstract

Flow citometry is a laboratory analysis tool that began to be used in the early 1950's in order to count and analyze blood cells. During the 1980s it became a quantitative technique appreciated in The area of Health Sciences and is currently used for various purposes in the field of medicine, microbiology, biochemistry, in the laboratory, for environmental or biological issues, in the field of theoretical and practical research, Although not very accessible, it allows a quick, objective and quantitative analysis of cells, nuclei, chromosomes, mitochondria or other particles. The use of Flow Citometry (CF) in Veterinary Medicine is relatively recent; However, proves to be a promising method. In this paper, a brief description of the benefits of application of FC, areas of application, benefits in veterinary in general and in particular in animal reproduction is made.
