Laser-flow technology is used in:

Laser-flow technology is used in:

• A. Hematology analyzers
• B. Electrolyte analyzers
• C. Coagulation analyzers
• D. Chemistry analyzers

Answer: (A)

Laser-flow technology relies on directing a stream of cells through a focused laser beam and detecting how they scatter light and fluoresce. This lets the instrument distinguish different blood cell types by size, internal structure, and markers, which is essential for automated complete blood counts and differential counts. Electrolyte analyzers use ion-selective electrodes, chemistry analyzers rely on photometric or enzymatic assays, and coagulation analyzers monitor clot formation with optical or mechanical methods—none of these depend on laser-flow cell analysis. So the technique is used in hematology analyzers to count and classify blood cells.
