BD FACSAria Fusion Flow Cytometry Cell Sorter

The BD FACSAria Fusion is a fluorescence-activated cell sorter and flow cytometer. Characterization and separation of cells of interest can be performed as the samples pass through the stream and are interrogated by laser. This platform is equipped with lasers of multiple excitation wavelengths (375nm, 405nm, 488nm, 561nm, 640nm) that enable multi-coloured assays. A choice of nozzles also enables sorting of a wide range of particle sizes (available nozzle sizes: 70μm, 85μm, 100μm, and 130μm).

The BD FACSAria Fusion is fully integrated with Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet to meet operator and sample protection.

BD FACSDiva software is used to manage the setup, acquisition, and analysis of flow cytometry data.


Leica LMD7000 Laser Micro-dissector

The Leica LMD7000 is a laser microdissector allow a contact and contamination-free isolation of specific single cell or particular areas of tissue of interested. It enables dissection of a wide variety of tissue samples. The dissectate is then available for downstream genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and NGS analysis. Moreover, it can also applied for manipulation of cell culture or for microengraving of coverslips.
