Benchtop flow cytometry
The Flow Cytometry Core has three benchtop instruments capable of exciting dyes that require 355-nanometer, 405-nanometer, 488-nanometer, 560-nanometer or 633-nanometer lasers:
- BD Biosciences LSRFortessa flow cytometer.
- BD Biosciences FACSymphony A3 cell analyzer.
- Cytek Aurora full-spectrum flow cytometer.
Typical applications include apoptosis, cell cycle, immunophenotyping and protein expression.
Cell sorting
The core has a BD Biosciences FACSAria III cell sorter. It is contained within a Baker biological safety cabinet to allow sterile sorting of both human and nonhuman cells. The cell sorter is equipped with an automatic cell deposition unit to enable sorting into plates of various sizes, as well as glass slides and tubes. Four distinct populations can be sorted at one time.
