BD FACSAria™ Fusion Flow Cytometer

• The flow cytometer has been verified to meet personnel and product protection standards for a Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet and to meet many local standards
• Precisely integrated fluidic and optical systems maximize signal detection
• Optimized fiber-launched lasers improve sensitivity and resolution for each color in a multicolor assay
  
• The system can be expanded with additional lasers via a field upgrade. You can design a configuration that meets your lab’s budget and site requirements today and have a growth path for the future

• Once the drop-delay is calculated, the system automatically adjusts to maintain a constant break-off, called the Sweet Spot
  
• Automatic clog detection stops the sort and protects the collection tubes if a clog is detected
  
• After passing through the cuvette, the stream accelerates through the nozzle, and droplets are formed for sorting
  
• Since particle interrogation occurs above the nozzle, insertion and removal of the nozzle can occur without realigning the optics or the fluid stream
  
• BD FACS^™ Accudrop Technology simplifies drop-delay determination

• Complete cell surface phenotype of every cell sorted into a multiposition sort device, such as a 96-well tray
  
• Sort and tray position information available on an event-by-event basis according to the X and Y coordinates of the sort collection device
  
• Ability to precisely trace back post-sorting results to the flow characteristics of the specific cell

• The BD FACSAria^™ Fusion Flow Cytometer can be purchased with or without a BSC. Since the flow cytometer and the BSC were designed for a seamless fit, a BSC can be added later in a field upgrade that takes less than a day to install
  
• The BSC protects the operator from aerosol exposure during a sort and the built-in and independently operated Aerosol Management System (AMS) also evacuates aerosols
  
• The enclosed sample-to-sort pathway, the Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet and the Aerosol Management System make aerosol management fully redundant
  
• Since these systems are independent, they can be tested individually to ensure optimal operation and backup protection
