The instrument has five lasers: Ultra-violet (349nm), Violet (405nm), Blue (488 nm), Yellow-Green (561nm) and Red (638nm) with spectral detectors and 3 imaging optics from blue laser with multiple imaging features. Nozzles sizes available: 85, 100 and 130nm. Cells can be sorted into 1,5 or 2ml micro tubes or 12 x 75 mm tubes and 6-, 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-well plates (single or multiple cells/well) and standard microscope slides. Depending on the nozzle size, the system can be setup for simultaneous 2-6-way sorting (into tubes).
