Description

The University of Exeter has a requirement for a cell sorter which uniquely combines the speed, sensitivity, quantity, and multi-parameter phenotyping abilities to analyse and isolate individual events such as bacteria, plankton/algae or mammalian cells. The equipment offers extremely powerful new approaches for research in environmental and medical microbiology, marine and plant science, as well as infectious disease and is the only solution that can achieve all of our requirements.

Total Quantity or Scope

The equipment offers extremely powerful new approaches for research in environmental and medical microbiology, marine and plant science, as well as infectious disease and is the only solution that can achieve all of the University's requirements.

Legal Justification

The University of Exeter has a requirement for a cell sorter which uniquely combines the speed, sensitivity, quantity, and multi-parameter phenotyping abilities to analyse and isolate individual events such as bacteria, plankton/algae or mammalian cells. The equipment offers extremely powerful new approaches for research in environmental and medical microbiology, marine and plant science, as well as infectious disease. The BD FACSymphony™ S6 Spectral Edition (SE) Cell Sorter, is the only Cell sorter that offers all the required specifications mentioned above: • Gel-coupled quartz-cuvette flow cell for greater sensitivity ensures that lasers are precisely focused on the sample stream, and therefore the maximum amount of emitted light is collected. • PMT detector: The detector array system of the S6 is PMT based with different detector sensitivities, of which the solution offers the required, enhanced range. • Spectral Technology: S6 SE is coming with an array 50 PMT PMT detectors coupled with a spectral module and software that allows the unmixing of individual spectral emissions and also the capability to use close fluorochromes. • BSL-II Cabinet: S6 SE cell sorter is integrated with a real Class II type A2 Biosafety Cabinet from Baker with a microbiological safety report.
