Description
The Bigfoot Spectral Cell Sorter supports configurations with up to 9 lasers (349nm, 405nm, 445nm, 488nm, 532nm, 561nm, 594nm, 640nm, 785nm) and 60 detectors, delivering versatility for both standard fluorescence detection and spectral unmixing.
- Multiple scatter options enhance flexibility with simultaneous standard and small particle detection, multi-laser scatter detection, and polarization.
- Capable of 6-way sorting into tubes, 4-way sorting into 96 well plates and 384 well plates, or straight-down sorting into 1536 well plates.
- A massively parallel, pipelined architecture eliminates hard aborts and allows complex, high-colour experiments with up to a 60 x 60 compensation matrix or spectral unmixing without limiting instrument performance.
- Advanced automation and software allow operators with all levels of knowledge to use and control the system with confidence.
- Integrated control systems ensure optimal droplet formation persistence and position stabilization over time ensuring accurate drop delay maintenance throughout the day.
- To streamline workflow and reduce user errors, automated stream calibration and drop delay simplify sort setup while bubble detection notifies the operator and stops the sort to preserve precious samples.
- Integrated temperature control (4-37°C) and agitation maintain sample integrity for sample input while temperature control of the output maintains the viability of sorted samples.
- Flexibility to support a range of cell types and applications.
- The Bigfoot Spectral Cell Sorter’s jet-in-air sensing is gentle with fragile cells to maximize viability at high sort speeds, minimizing impact on yield.
- A swap tip wizard simplifies the setup of 50, 70, 100, 120, and 150 µm nozzle tips.
- Integrated biosafety cabinet for operator and sample protection.
