New COPAS™ Flow Cytometer from Union Biometrica

Union Biometrica has introduced the NEW COPAS™ HTS Option for Gentle Sorting of large libraries of 10-1,500μ Particles. COPAS large particle flow cytometers can analyze and sort objects that are too large or too fragile for traditional flow cytometers.

Lower operating pressures and soft-touch air-jet diverter technology means delicate samples are dispensed intact and viable.

The new HTS Option package is designed for High Throughput Screening applications involving a large number of objects sorted into microtiter output plates.

This option can be added to any new COPAS or BioSorter® model and includes liquid level sensors, leak and clog detectors as well as automatic sample pressure control for walk-away operation. The system uses status lights to notify an operator when reservoirs need refilling or other attention is required. A software option can also “slave” the system to a robotic plate handler.
