Description
The BD FACSAria cell sorter sets a new standard for high performance flow cytometry.
Based on a revolutionary new design in instrumentation, the BD FACSAria is an easy-to-use benchtop system which delivers high-speed sorting and multicolor analysis.
The BD FACSAria instrument is the first benchtop sorter that incorporates a fixed-alignment cuvette flow cell. This new flow cell provides superior fluorescence sensitivity. The fixed optical system offers freedom from instrument maintenance and alignment.
Sort setup and sort monitoring features in the BD FACS Aria software make the BD FACSAria instrument easy to use. BD™ AccuDrop is integrated into the system for quick and accurate drop-delay determination. Stream monitoring of the breakoff point and clog detection are incorporated for walkaway sorting.
BD FACS Aria Cell Sorting System features:
- First benchtop high-speed sorter with fixed-alignment cuvette flow cell
- Cuvette flow cell for superior fluorescence sensitivity
- Up to three air-cooled lasers at 488-nm, 633-nm, and 407-nm wavelengths
- Digital acquisition rates of up to 70,000 events/second
- Multicolor analysis of up to 15 parameters
- Two- and four-way bulk sorting devices for a variety of tube sizes
- Optional BDTM Automated Cell Deposition Unit (ACDU) for sorting to BD MultiwellTM plates or microscope slides
- Available BDTM Aerosol Management Option
- No special facility requirements necessary

"This is a really high speed cell sorter, you can sort cells of your interest from a mixed population and can seed it directly on to culture well plates. The Diva software is a user friendly Windows based software."   |

"I was upgraded to an Aria IIu several years ago. The upgrade was a great investment, greatly improving the performance of the instrument. However, this is an instrument that requires an experienced and well trained operator. It is not a high speed sorter if referenced against a MoFlo, but is much improved on the Vantage. As a rule of thumb the sample speed should be 1/5 of the frequency. In my hands the Aria IIu works best with a 85um nozzle, ~45,000 droplets/sec and a sample speed of <9,000 events/sec, at a sheath pressure of 45psi. My local service & support is superb." |

"I got great results with the FACSAria, the performance was superb but it did take months to learn how to use it properly. The software interface that comes with it is not exactly user-friendly and the manual is too expansive and too general. There was a workshop to teach us how to use it in my own institute however I didn't find it too helpful as they just re-iterated the manual and didn't even do a test run. I wish I had known before purchase that it would require months of practise or to pay thousands to attend the BD Biosciences course in California in order to use it properly." |
