New Large Particle Flow Cytometer

Union Biometrica, Inc. introduces the new BioSorter®. The well established COPAS™ product line consists of 4 instruments, each dedicated to a specific size range. In response to customer requests, Union Biometrica introduced the new BioSorter® platform designed for shared equipment / Core Labs.

Typical samples include:
• small multicellular model organisms (C.elegans, D.melanogaster, Zebrafish)
• delicate large cells / cell clusters (adipocytes, embryoid bodies, pancreatic islets, duct cells, hepatocytes)
• seeds (Arabidopsis, tobacco)
• beads (cells growing in or on beads, combi-chem libraries, bead based assays).

Samples are analyzed one by one in a continuously flowing stream and can be sorted based on size, optical density and up to four fluorescent parameters.

Utilizing the same patented soft-touch air-jet diverter technology, BioSorter can sort and dispense even fragile samples like adipocytes while maintaining their viability.
