Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), sometimes called fluorescence-assisted cell sorting, is a specialized type of flow cytometry[1] that uses fluorescent markers to target and isolate cell groups. This cell sorting[2] technique is commonly used in hematopoiesis, oncology, and stem cell biology research.

FACS technology separates cells based on cell surface markers. Antigenic ligands, such as proteins and carbohydrates, give each cell a unique surface phenotype, and specific antibodies associated with the cell surface antigens are then used to target cells with those antigens.
