Our flow cytometry facility has two cytometry systems:

• BD FACSAria Cell Sorting System
• BD FACSCalibur System

These multipurpose flow cytometers are capable of both cell analysis and cell sorting. They are fully integrated multi-parameter systems for multi-parameter data acquisition and analysis.

BD FACSAria Cell Sorting System

Our high speed FACSAria cell sorter features the following:
   -  Three air-cooled lasers at 488-nm (blue), 633-nm
      (red), and 405-nm (violet) wavelengths
   -  Digital acquisition rates of up to 70,000
      events/second
   -  Multicolor analysis for up to 9 parameters
   -  Two- and four-way bulk sorting devices for a variety
      of tube sizes
   -  Optional Automated Cell Deposition Unit (ACDU) for
      sorting to BD™ multiwell plates or microscope slides
   -  BD™ Aerosol Management Option System

BD FACSCalibur System

Our FACSCalibur features the following:
   -  Dual lasers
   -  Four-color fluorescence capability
   -  BD FACStationTM System Data Management System
   -  Flexible and modular for future upgrades
