Flow cytometry

Application: Flow cytometry (or FACS) is a technology that allows the rapid measurement of fluorescently labelled cells. Common applications include immunophenotyping, cell cycle analysis, proliferation, apoptosis, live/dead assays and expression analysis. This technology can also be used to separate out individual cells of interest to give pure populations for further analysis.
