In 1972, Dr. Len Herzenberg's group at Stanford University designed and patented a fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS). In 1974, Becton Dickinson, Inc. licensed Stanford University's FACS technology and introduced the first commercial flow cytometer, which was called the FACS-1.
When was the flow cytometer invented?
In 1965, Mack Fulwyler developed the flow cytometer that became the forerunner to today's instruments. In particular, he was responsible for creating an electronic cell volume-based separator.
Who invented flow cytometer?
Len Herzenberg, an immunologist at Stanford University, was a pioneer of this method of sorting cells using the principles of flow cytometry. He coined the terms FACS – florescence activated cell sorter – which sorted cells as well as counting them. The original name for flow cytometry was pulse cytophotometry.
