Flow cytometry
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is a specialised type of flow cytometry.
Using a laser beam to interrogate the flow, the cytometer analyses the specific light scattering and fluorescent characteristics of individual cells.
Following the cytometry, a stream of cells breaks into droplets and is electrically charged.
A heterogeneous mixture of biological cells can be electrostatically deflected into containers (tubes or 96 well plate), one cell at a time, based on size and fluorescence.
