Cell Sorter

Our MoFlo Astrios EQ is a 4-laser cell sorter that can measure at the same time up to 15 fluorescence parameters and 3 light scatter parameters (1 side scatter detectors and 2 forward scatter detectors, all of them being photomultipliers, are available on the EQ update). The instrument has an aerosol containment system.

• jet-in-air system
• temperature regulation for sample and collection vessels (4°C, 37°C, RT, etc.)
• available nozzle sizes: 50µm, 70um, 100um
• up to 6 populations can be sorted at the same time (only available for 5mL, 2mL or 1.5mL tubes);
• various collection vessels can be used:

  • 5mL, 2mL, 1.5mL tubes (6-way sort possible);
  • 15mL tubes (2-way sort);
  • 50mL tubes (2-way sort);
• slides: 384w, 96w, 48w, 24w, 12w, 6w plates (1-way sort)
• PCR tubes/strips/plates (1-way sort)
• sort setup modes:

  • purity
  • single cell (cloning)
  • enrichment.
