BD FACSAria III 4L - Schlieren

The following lasers are spatially separated available for excitation: 405 nm (violet), 488 nm (blue), 561 nm (yellow/green) and 635 nm (red). The instrument can record up to 15 parameters in parallel as described in the optical configuration.

70 µm, 85 µm, 100 µm and 130 µm nozzles are available for cell sorting of material ranging from bacteria to large cells like fat cells or tubules.

The sorter is operated by independent power users, power user in training and via operator based sorts.

Operator based sorts & training are available on request Mo - Fr from 09:00 - 17:00. Independet power user can use the sorter 24/7.

Sorted cells can be collected in following containers

• 4 x 5 ml tubes,
• 2 x 15 ml falcons,
• 4 x 1.5 ml eppis,
• 6 well, 24 well, 48 well, 96 well and 384 well plates
• onto microscopic slides

An aerosol management system allows cell sorting up to biosafety level 2 on this machine.
