BD FACSAria at George St

Yale Flow Cytometry Facility: Flow cytometry cell sorting

Location: 300 George St. Room 2331 
Contacts: Jennifer Kelly

The 18-parameter, 5-laser system includes:

  • 100mw 355nm UV laser with 2 PMTs
  • 200mw 405nm Violet laser with 6 PMTs
  • 200mw 488nm Blue laser with 3 PMTs
  • 200mw 532nm Green laser with 4 PMTs
  • 150mw 637nm Red laser with 3 PMTs

It can handle UV excitation for cell-cycle and “side-population”-based sorting.

FACSAria II is capable of sorting with 70, 85, 100, and 130 micron nozzles and equipped with FACSDiva 7, which allows for index plate sorting. It also has an aerosol management system and is capable of conducting BSL-1 and BSL-2 sorts. 

To schedule a sort please make a request in PPMS. If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Kelly.
