fluorescence-activated cell sorting
1fluorescence-activated cell sorting — Abbreviation: FACS A flow cytometry method in which targets (cells, individual chromosomes etc.) are labelled with a fluorescent dye, which is excited by a laser beam. Differences in the fluorescence signal emitted are used as a criterion for… …
2Cell sorter, fluorescence-activated — A flow cytometer (a scientific instrument used to measure the characteristics of individual cells) that is modified for the purpose of separating (sorting) cells based on the amount of light (fluorescence) emitted by each cell. The abbreviation… …
3Cell synchronization — Cell Synchronization. Synchronization literally means to make two or more things happen exactly simultaneously. For instance, two or more watches can be synchronized to show exactly the same time.The cells at different stages of the cell cycle in …
