Capabilities
Instruments
-
Cell Sorter enables high-performance analysis and precise cell sorting, supporting advanced research and clinical applications.
-
Rapid and multiparametric analysis of particles with up to 62 fluorescent parameters ranging from 355nm - 800nm. Sample uptake options include 96 well plate loading on HTS. It detects characteristics such as size, granularity, and fluorescence to provide insights into cell populations and their functions.
- The BD FACSymphony™ A3
- BD LSRFortessa™ SORP X-20
- BD LSRFortessa™ SORP
- Cytek Aurora
- Invitrogen Attune NxT
- BD FACSCanto™ II
-
Measures the size distribution, concentration, and zeta potential of particles in a solution by analyzing light scattering caused by their Brownian motion or migration under an electric field.
