BD FACSAria II cell sorter

Multiple improvements were made across the system, including:

New fluidics and nozzle designs A new fluidics design improves aseptic setup and cleaning. New nozzle sizes enable a wide range of particles to be sorted and new nozzle design allows for reproducible insertions. Software wizards and automation simplify aseptic sort setup, drop delay determination, and clog detection. Better workflow and productivity The BD FACSAria II also raises the bar on ease of use to improve both workflow and productivity with improvements across the platform. For example, a universal sort tube collection mount now makes it easier to insert and remove tube holders. In addition, software improvements dramatically cut the time spent on cytometer setup, adjustment, and maintenance.

New 375-nm Near UV laser The 375-nm Near UV laser option is available to expand the range of application choices. The beam geometry is optimized for most hematopoietic stem cells. The top hat design of the 375-nm Near UV laser triples the amount of light at the sample intercept. The 375-nm Near UV laser can be operated together with the red and blue lasers. Upgrades from BD FACSAria to BD FACSAria II Packages will be available to field upgrade BD FACSAria instruments to the capabilities of BD FACSAria II.
