BD FACS Aria III Cell Sorter
Overview
A FACS Cell Sorter utilizes flow cytometry for single cell separation and collection. A state-of-the-art sorter with 3 lasers (488 nm, 633 nm & 405 nm) is able to detect 10 fluorochromes, 12 parameters in total, and has the capacity to sort 4 different populations simultaneously. The FACS Cell sorter allows the isolation of single cells with certain characteristics. Single cell analysis is vital for the identification and characterization of functionally important cell sub-populations and even the enrichment of rare cell populations.
Main Features
- 3 laser sources that emit in the blue, red and violet region of the visible spectrum
- Process 12 parameters simultaneously including FSC and SSC
- Capacity to sort 4 different populations simultaneously
- Ability to separate the sample into 1 ml, 1.5 ml, 5 ml, 15 ml tubes, as well as, microplates (6, 24, 48, 96, 384-well plates) and slides in order to achieve single cell sorting
- Sample agitation and temperature control system
- Ability for aseptic cell separation
- Automatic correction of fluorescence compensation
- A choice of nozzles (70, 85, 100, and 130 μm) lets users sort a wide range of particle sizes
