FACSMelody cell sorter (UllevÄl): 405, 488 and 640 nm lasers

The BD FACSMelody™ Cell Sorter with a 4-way cell sorting plus plate sorting makes cell sorting accessible to more researchers. Based on the same sorting technology as the FACSAria cell sorter, but the FACSChorus™ Software reduce 55% of steps of starting up, QC, calibrating Dropdelay. 

3 lasers, 405, 488 and 640 nm, and 9 fluorescence detectors. 

Examples of the features:

  • Automated setup of laser delay, drop delay and side streams
  • An interface which leads you through workflows
  • On-screen instructions and tool tips
  • Index sorting acquisition and analysis
  • Automatic compensation updates when voltages are changed
  • Prevention of tube overflow and cooling
  • Deflection plates turned on automatically, only when necessary, to guard operator safety

Instrument location: Room 0606034, Midtblokka 6th floor.
