The ZE5 is a full-featured analyzer with 5 lasers and 30 detectors including dual FCS for simple to complex flow panels. Features include multiple sample formats (5-ml, eppendorfs, and standard or deep-well microplates), chilled sample holder, operational flow rates of 0.025–3.5 μl/sec, up to 100,000 events per second with all parameters enabled, <0.2 μm FSC resolution with small-particle detection module.
The BD Celesta flow cytometer is an easy step-up from the LSRII using Diva software and single-tube application or the built-in HTS plate adaptor in a small benchtop format. The 12 channel Celesta is equipped with 4 parameters from the blue laser, 5 parameters from the violet laser, and 3 parameters from the red laser. The Celesta is available for self-use.
The BD Melody cell sorter is housed in it's own Baker BSC. It is housed in our BSL-2+ room in the flow cytometry core. The Melody has 3 lasers with 12 parameters (4B 5V 3R), using a 100µ nozzle and capable of 2-way sorting and plates. This easy to use sorter is available for self-sorting for investigators who have completed the training session described on our training page.
