Answer: Measures the antigen levels on the cell surface

Explanation: Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) measures the antigen levels on the cell surface quantitatively. Cells are dyed with a fluorescent antibody, then placed in a stream of liquid which passes the focus of a laser, and each cell emits light.
