Abstract
Flow cytometry is one of the most widespread optical methods used in the diagnosis of health disorders and disease monitoring. The ultimate goal is achieving a single biomarker sensitivity. Here we experimentally characterize the nonclassical light from the flow cytometer and observe g(2)(0) = 0.4(2). Thus, we demonstrate a single emitter sensitivity and determine that the signal due to one biomarker is at least 6 times brighter than the background noise. This result potentially enables detecting rare single biomarker occurrences with high throughput.
