The CytoFLEX S Flow Cytometer with Mosaic 63 Spectral Detection Module has now been successfully installed at ULS. This system combines the conventional flow cytometer, the CytoFLEX S flow cytometer, and the spectral flow cytometer, the CytoFLEX Mosaic 63 Spectral Detection Module. It allows switching between true conventional and spectral modes. The CytoFLEX S conventional flow cytometer has 4 active lasers (405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, 638 nm) and 13 channels for fluorescence detection. The Mosaic 63 Spectral Detection Module enables spectral capabilities and offers 1 FSC channel, 4 SSC channels, and 58 fluorescent channels, for a total of 63 channels of detection. Both conventional and spectral modules offer superior fluorescence sensitivity for dim and complex multicolour staining and can detect nanoparticles as small as 80 nm*.
Training sessions led by a specialist from Beckman Coulter will be arranged on the following dates:
Spectral Detection Module Training:
