Sony MA900
The Sony MA900 is located in LEPH Room 901B and reserved for BSL3 Level Sorting.
The MA900 from Sony meets the needs of most sorting applications, supporting 12 fluorescence parameters and 4-way sorting.
Powerful, modern technologies built into the MA900 system include a patented micro fluidic chip-based design, comprehensive fluidic controls, and advanced automation that dramatically simplifies operation to make sorting less subjective and improve reliability.
Up to 14 parameters from 4 lasers
The MA900 offers choice and flexibility, enabling the detection of up to 14 parameters. Choose from 4 excitation lasers—488 nm, 405 nm, 561 nm, and 638 nm—on two beam spots. Free-form PMTs enable detection of fluorescence signals from each beam spot, allowing detection of up to 12 fluorescence parameters and two scatter parameters.
The Sony MA900 is available for sorting but those wishing to operate the cell sorter must complete these minimal requirements:
- Have YARC Approval for Animal Handling (or Complete a Medical Surveillance Form, see YARC website)
- Complete a tour of the LEPH Facility
- Complete a Sony training session
