The MACSQuant Tyto is a microchip-based sorter with a closed system which operates at low pressure. The cells are contained and sorted in a sterile, single-use, disposable cartridge.
Uses
- Cell sorting for culture or sequencing [multi-color, fluorescent protein etc.]
- Low pressure sorting
- Rare population enrichment
- “Plug and play” with culture media as sorting buffer
Specifications
- Three spatially separated lasers (Violet 405nm, Blue 488nm and Red 638nm)
- 10 parameters: 8 fluorescent parameter detectors [V2 B4 R2] and 2 light scatter detectors
- Closed cartridge system
- Low pressure operation (~ 3 PSI)
- 2-way sorting of positive (sorted) cells and negative (non-sorted) cells
- Temperature control from 4°C to 25°C
- Pre-filtering using 20µm filter
