Product Name:

SH800S Cell Sorter

Catalog Number:

SH800S

The Sony SH800s is one of the first fully automated sorting devices of the flowcytometry world. This means that the machine only requires a couple steps to be fully operational. The SH800s has 4 lasers (405nm, 488nm, 561nm and 638nm) and is capable of measuring up to 6 parameters (excl. FSC and BSC). The lasers are co-linear which might lead to some spill-over when combining certain fluorophores. The software is quick and easy and really intuitive.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Tips

Chip sizes from 70um, 100um and 130um in size are a bit different compared to regular nozzle sizes. I.E a 70um nozzle or a 70um chip are not 100% comparable.
