Real-Time Image-Enabled Cell Sorting 

Learn how live imaging improves fluorescence-activated cell sorting.

Share

To isolate specific cell populations, researchers frequently employ fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). While this flow cytometry-based technique analyzes the cells’ fluorescence, it cannot assess many of the cells’ morphological features. An innovative FACS instrument with imaging capabilities enables scientists to visually examine the cells in real time and sort them based on morphological and fluorescence characteristics. 

Download this poster from BD Biosciences to discover the different image features that researchers can examine using the BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter with BD CellView™ Image Technology, including cell size, diffusivity, eccentricity, and radial moment.
