Equipment
The IDRM Flow Cytometry Facility offers access to state of the art equipment, including the Sony ID7000 Spectral cytometers, Cytek Aurora and the Sony MA900 Cell Sorter.
Sony ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer
Sony MA900™ Multi-Application Cell Sorter
The MA900™ from Sony meets the needs of most sorting applications, supporting 12 fluorescence parameters and 4-way sorting. Powerful, modern technologies built into the MA900 system include a patented micro fluidic chip-based design, comprehensive fluidic controls, and advanced automation that dramatically simplifies operation to make sorting less subjective and improve reliability.
Cytek Aurora
The Cytek Aurora is a flexible, easy-to-use spectral flow cytometer, offering the ability to run high complexity assays using a simplified workflow and giving high-fidelity. The unique optics of the Aurora offer a one-solution approach using its standardised optical bench to sample light from 365nm to 830nm for multiple laser excitation lines to spectrally sample fluorophores, allowing for better discrimination of these dyes.
The IDRM Flow Cytometry Facility is proud to offer interested users (i.e. researchers across Oxford and beyond as well as corporate clients) access to cutting edge equipment, including the Sony ID7000 Spectral Cytometers and the Sony MA900 Cell Sorter. Our experienced super users are available to offer training and support to ensure all users can use these instruments effectively and obtain high quality data for their flow cytometry experiments.
