BD FASCSAriatm Item #1204
BD FACSAriatm: Rebuilt 3-laser, 9-color sorter with FACSDivatm software, dual flat screen displays, automated cell deposition unit (ACDU), color printer, stream viewing optics, temperature control, aerosol management option (AMO), 2-way/4-way sorting, pressurized fluidics cart, 70 and 100 micron nozzles.
 
Workstation: HP CPU with FACSDivatm software, dual monitors, keyboard and color printer.
Lasers: Coherent sapphire solid state 488 nm (13-20mW); JDS Uniphase HeNe air cooled laser-633 nm (10-20mW) and iFLEX-2000 405 nm 50mW.
Detectors: Octagon with 6 PMTs including side scatter (488-nm blue laser); Trigon containing 2 PMTs (633-nm red laser); Trigon containing 2 PMTs .
(405-nm violet).
Coefficient of variation (CV): 1.5% for DNA stained with PI and 3.5% with Hoechst.
Nozzles:70 and 100 micron.
Sorting modes: Four-way 1-ml collection tube holder; four-way 12x75mm collection tube holder; two-way 12x75mm collection tube holder:Two-way 15-ml collection tube holder; two-way 15-ml collection tube holder.
Optics: Fixed laser alignment to gel-coupled cuvette flow cell. Emission lines transmitted through fiber optics to octagon- and trigon-shaped collection devices. 7 fluorescent PMTs, 1 SSC PMT, 1 FSC diode.
Purity and yield: At 70 psi and 90 kHz with an average threshold rate of 25,000 events per second for a four-way sort results in a purity of >98% and a yield >80% of Poisson's expected yield.
Maximum acquisition rate: 70,000 events/sec.
ACDU: Allows for slide and plate sorting into 6, 24, 48, 96, and 384 plates.
Fluidics System: Transfers sheath fluid from fluidics cart into a plenum reservoir which prevents pressure variations. The fluidics cart holds four 10-L containers, two sheath and two waste, plus three 5-L auxiliary cleaning fluid containers..

Provide any required restoration of exterior and interior components. Replace filters, fluidics tubing and connectors as required. Replace any defective or worn components. Clean and inspect all tanks in fluidics cart. Set sample pressure to specifications. Confirm all lasers meet specified wattage. Adjust sample flow rates for correct settings. Clean and align optics. Confirm sorting purity and recovery within BD specs. Confirm overall instrument performance and optimum CVs using CST and calibration beads. Print all results to be included with shipment and/or faxed to buyer for approval.
 
Installation by a qualified service representative quoted separately. The price will include all travel expenses and labor required to confirm proper operation at the customer's facility utilizing standard calibration procedures.
