Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) of living cells separates a population of cells into subpopulations based on fluorescent labelling. Cells stained using fluorophore-conjugated antibodies can be separated based on fluorescent recognition using specialised lasers.
FACS can be used to carry out many functions including:
- High-speed cell sorting
- Apoptotic assays
- Cell cycle analysis
DNA analysis
