Abstract:
FCM (flow cytometry) is a rapid quantitative analysis and sorting technology of cells or biological particles in a liquid stream. FACS (fluorescence-activatied cell sorting) has been widely applied in the field of neuron cell research during the recent years. This paper compares FACS with other three sorting methods, and reviews the application of FCM in neuron cell research. At last, this article discusses the technical difficulties and solutions of FCM, expecting to look for the therapy clue of neuron system disease with new technology of flow cytometry.
