===== System overview =====

{{  :cell_sorting.png?0x300|}} The BD FACSAria IIu //cell sorter// is a high speed benchtop digital flow cytometer equipped with a sensitive, fixed-alignment cuvette flow cell. It has 3 spatially separated lasers - 405 nm, 488 nm and 640 nm. Its primary function is to analyze complex populations of cells and yield pure populations of cells meeting defined criteria. The sorter can purify samples that are simply positive and negative for a single fluorophore or as complex as multi-color samples with complex gating strategies. 

Sorting can be performed into two or four tubes with speeds up to 25,000 events/second. The system sorts by incorporating cells from the sample tube into a stream of sterile PBS. The stream is interrogated by the lasers at the flow cell and the system electronics keeps track of each cell as they pass through the laser and determines specific cells that meet the sort criteria. A transducer vibrates the stream and induces droplet formation, with cells in the stream being incorporated into the droplets. If a cell meets the sorting criteria and is in the last drop before the break off, the instrument will charge that drop. The charged droplet is then deflected into the proper collection tube by the charge plates. Different cell types can be sorted with the use of 70 μm, 85 μm and 100 μm nozzles.


  * Three lasers - violet (405 nm), blue (488 nm) and red (633 nm)
  * Multicolor analysis of up to 9 parameters
  * 70 μm, 85 μm and 100 μm nozzles available
  * Up to 4-way sorting into 1.5 ml or 4 ml tubes and 2-way sorting into 15 ml tubes
  * Sorting for 6-, 12-, 24-, 96-, 384-well and PCR plates 

If you need to sort potentially hazardous samples (e.g human samples and other BSL-2 level samples) you need to sort in our other sorters equiped with Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinets to reduce the risk of operator exposure.

If you need a cell sorting up to 16 parameters, check the [[bd_facsaria_iii|BD FACSAria III]] and the [[bd_facsaria_fusion|BD FACSAria Fusion]] in <html><span style="color:blueviolet;font-size:100%;">Lisbon site</span></html>.

If you need high parameter cell sorting, check the [[bd_facsymphony_s6_se|BD FACSymphony S6 SE]] in <html><span style="color:blueviolet;font-size:100%;">Lisbon site</span></html> or the [[cytek_aurora_cs|CYTEK Aurora CS]] in <html><span style="color:Yellowgreen;font-size:100%;">Oeiras site</span></html>.
