Flow cytometry is a laser- or impedance-based, biophysical technology employed in cell counting, cell sorting, biomarker detection and protein engineering, by suspending cells in a stream of fluid and passing them through an electronic detection apparatus. A flow cytometer allows simultaneous multiparametric analysis of the physical and chemical characteristics of up to thousands of particles per second.
Instrument name |
BD FACSAriaIIIFlow Cytometry |
Model number |
BD FACSAriaIII |
Manufacturer |
BD Company |
Specifications |
1. Fluorescence detectors and filters:Five fixed-fiber apertures for the 488, 633, and 405-nm lasers. 2. Nozzles:Nozzles are available in four sizes: 70, 85, 100, and 130 microns. 3. High-performance analysis, high-performance sorting: The flow cell and nozzle design enable low particle speeds in the analysis zone for maximum light collection, and then accelerate the particle through the nozzle at stream speeds to achieve the drop rates required for high-performance sorting. 4.Easy aseptic setup and cleaning. |
Applications and Uses |
Flow cytometry is widely used in biological basic research and clinical applications, and has played an important role in the field of immunology, genetics, hematology, oncology, botany. As a high-end development of life science research and diagnostic laboratory instruments, flow cytometry provides an ideal testing and analysis method for the understanding of cells and life activities, the mechanism of disease and drug development, and the interaction between nanomaterials and cells. |
