Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorting (FACS). This is one of the methods that we used in Flow Cytometry. It has something to do with cell sorting whether the cells contains the protein of interest. However some cells contain different epitopes or antigenic determinants and thus the machine will sort them separately.

Context would be useful. That's also the acronym for "fellow of the American College of Surgeons."
