Cell Sorting Facility

Fluorescent-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) forms a central technique in immunology and other sub-fields of cell biology. It allows the researcher to count or sort individual cells based on the density of surface markers and a variety of other phenotypes. This way specific cellular subsets can be analyzed in complex populations.
