New Large Particle Flow Cytometer
Apr 19 2010
Union Biometrica, Inc have now introduced their new BioSorter®. The well established COPAS™ product line consists of 4 instruments, each dedicated to a specific size range. In response to customer requests, Union Biometrica introduced the new BioSorter platform designed for shared equipment/Core Labs.
These systems offer interchangeable flow cells to handle the complete 10-1,500 micron size range in a single instrument. The BioSorter can analyse, sort and dispense objects that are too large or too fragile for traditional flow cytometers.
Typical samples include: small multicellular model organisms (C.elegans, D.melanogaster, Zebrafish); delicate large cells / cell clusters (adipocytes, embryoid bodies, pancreatic islets, duct cells, hepatocytes); seeds (Arabidopsis, tobacco); and beads (cells growing in or on beads, combi-chem libraries, bead based assays).
Samples are analysed one by one in a continuously flowing stream and can be sorted based on size, optical density and up to four fluorescent parameters. Utilising the same patented soft-touch air-jet diverter technology, BioSorter can sort and dispense even fragile samples like adipocytes while maintaining their viability.
