Flow Cytometry

A laser-based method that analyzes physical (forward and side scatter) and fluorescent properties of individual cells or particles in suspension as they pass single-file through an interrogation point, and can optionally sort subpopulations by deflecting charged droplets (FACS).

A technique that measures optical (light scatter) and fluorescent properties of individual cells or particles in suspension as they flow single‑file past lasers and detectors, enabling multiparametric phenotyping and, when coupled with sorting (FACS), physical isolation of selected populations.
