The facility is equipped with one cell sorter and two analyzers, all from BD Biosciences.

 

FACSARIA III Cell Sorter and Diva software

Excitation sources : 405nm (violet laser), 488nm (blue laser), 561nm (yellow-green laser) and 633nm (red laser)
Detection : FSC/SSC and 16 fluorescence parameters (6V/2B/5YG/3R)
Link to the exact configuration

This cell sorter is equipped of 70µm, 85µm and 100µm nozzles.
Sorting can be performed on 12*75mm tubes, eppendorfs, Falcon 15, plates (i.e. 96 wells plate) or slides.
A maximum of 4 populations can be sort at the same time.
The device is equipped of a waterbath, thus sample and collection tubes can be maintained from 4°C to 32°C throughout the sort.
Sort cannot be performed under sterile conditions because the device is not placed under a hood, however sort are performed in appropriate conditions for the sorted cells to be maintained in normal culture conditions.

 

FACSVerse and FACSuite software

Excitation sources : 405nm (violet laser), 488 nm (blue laser) and 640nm (red laser)
Detection : FSC/SSC and 8 fluorescence parameters (2V/4B/2R)
It is equipped with the universal loader.
