FACSymphony A5 (Montebello)
BD FACSymphony A5 is is the most advanced cell analyzer with solid state diode lasers, advanced fluorescence detection with fiber optics and optimized beam path. New digital signal processing that enables the simultaneous measurement of up to 30 different characteristics of a single cell. This high parameter flow cytometer is a powerful analytical tool that enables scientists to identify and analyze distinctive phenotypes in heterogeneous populations.
Room: K03.020
Specifications:
- Five air-cooled Coherent lasers at 355 nm(60mW), 405 nm(100mW), 488 nm(100mW), 561 nm(100mW) and 640 nm(140mW). Laser power can be increased for some of the lasers to improve resolution for very dim positive populations. Contact the staff to test if this is the case for your marker.
- Multicolour analysis of 30 parameters (2 scatter, 28 fluorescence).
- PC-based FACS DiVa software.
