We provide cell Sorting services on two Legacy MoFlo's (Cytomation; now owned by Beckman Coulter). Sort options range from isolating single populations into multi-well plates (clonally or any number specified), to bulk sorting in up to four populations simultaneously. Currently up to six fluorescent parameters are available from as many as five excitation lasers.

We have walk up (self-service) FACS Analysis available on an LSR-II (Becton Dickinson), with five lasers and thirteen color parameters available; a FACSCalibur (BD), with two lasers and up to four fluorescent parameters; and a FACSCan (BD) with one laser and three fluorescent detectors.
