Sony SH800S Cell Sorter

 

 

The SH800Z cell sorter permits analysis and sorting of a wide range of cell sizes and applications using 70 μm, 100 μm, or 130 μm microfluidics sorting chips. In addition, the software provides an assistive mode for large cells to improve sorting performance. It supports sorting into tubes (0.5, 1.5, 5, 15 ml) as well as high throughput sorting and precise deposition of cells into 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 and 384-well plates or PCR plates.

 

The optical design offers 4 collinear excitation lasers (405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm and 638 nm) and 6 fluorescence, as well as 2 scatter detectors (forward scatter and back scatter). The six PMTs enable detection of fluorescence signals from any laser based on filter selection. Temperature control pre-sort: 5 ˚C or 37 ˚C; post-sort: 5 ˚C

 

The software generates FCS 3.0 and FCS 3.1 files that also can be exported to third party analysis tools.

 

The custom BCC300AMS Class II biosafety cabinet provides protection for personnel and products.
