Cell sorting

CYTOFLUX

Cell sorting: FACSAriaIII™

The BD FACSAriaIII™ uses nozzles with different sizes (70μm, 85μm, 130μm and 100 micron) and pressures depending on the cell type and application. The cell sorting may be performed at different temperatures held constant depending on the type of experiment: 4 ° C, 25 ° C, 37 ° C and 42 ° C.

The BD FACSAriaIII™ can sort up to 4 populations simultaneously, in tubes ranging from Eppendorf to Falcon 15 ml or on slides and multi-well plate. The sorting into multi-well plates allows the cloning to single cell in few minutes.
