Description

The BD FACSAria Fusion is an advanced device for cell analysis and sorting. It is widely used in research fields like immunology, cancer, stem cells, and other areas where studying cells is important.

Key Features:

  1. Four Lasers (B/R/YG/V):

    • The FACSAria Fusion uses four lasers: blue (488 nm), red (633 nm), yellow-green (561 nm), and violet (405 nm). These lasers help activate different fluorescent markers, allowing multiple cell characteristics to be measured at once.

  2. Cell Sorting:

    • The device can sort cells based on their properties, which is useful for isolating specific cells for further research.

  3. High Resolution:

    • The FACSAria Fusion provides highly detailed measurements of cells, even when only a small number of a specific cell type is present in a sample.

  4. Versatile and User-Friendly:

    • The system is flexible and suitable for various types of cell research, from stem cell studies to cancer research. The software is easy to use, making it simple to set up the device and analyze data.

Applications:

The FACSAria Fusion is used for studying cells such as:

  • Immunology: Studying immune cells.

  • Cancer Research: Analyzing cancer cells.

  • Stem Cell Research: Isolating stem cells for further study.

In summary, the BD FACSAria Fusion is a powerful tool for analyzing and sorting cells, enabling researchers to gather detailed information about cells and their properties.
