Facility Instruments

Beckman Coulter Quanta SC

The Quanta SC is a flow cytometry analyzer with two excitation wavelengths, 488nm and a mercury arc lamp that can measure up to 3 colors simultaneously depending on which light source is turned on. This cytometer is capable of 'walk-away' operation. It runs samples in 96 well plates, sample cups, or 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes. This instrument is used for immunophenotyping, DNA analysis, cell cycle, and functional assays

Beckman Coulter FC500

The FC500 is a flow cytometry analyzer with two laser excitation wavelengths, 488nm and 633nm that can measure up to 5 colors simultaneously. This cytometer is capable of 'walk-away' operation. It runs samples in 96 well plates or 12x75 tubes. This instrument is used for immunophenotyping, phophoprotein analysis, DNA analysis, cell cycle, and functional assays

Sony iCyt Reflection Sorter

The Sony iCyt Reflection cell sorter and analyzer provides modern advances with proven technology. This is the first cell sorter that allows for optical flexibility of up to 48 PMTs and 256 parameters, maximum performance potential with up to four HAPS (Highly Automated Parallel Sorters) in one unit. Our instrument features a dual HAPS system. HAPS 2 is a 4 laser, 10 color instrument. HAPS 3 is a 3 laser, 7 color instrument

Cyntellect LEAP

The LEAP (Laser Enabled Analysis and Processing) is a microplate-based, interactive image cytometer with laser ablative sorting of either attached or suspension cells
