Union Biometrica Inc. Release: New Flow Cytometer for Gentle Sorting of Large Libraries of 10-1,500µ Particles

August 16, 2011 -- Union Biometrica has introduced the NEW COPAS™ HTS Option for Gentle Sorting of large libraries of 10-1,500µ Particles

COPAS large particle flow cytometers can analyze and sort objects that are too large or too fragile for traditional flow cytometers.

Lower operating pressures and soft-touch air-jet diverter technology means even delicate samples like adipocytes or stem cell clusters are dispensed intact and viable.

The new HTS Option package is designed for High Throughput Screening applications involving large numbers of objects to be sorted into large numbers of microtiter output plates.

This option can be added to any new COPAS or BioSorter® model and includes liquid level sensors, leak & clog detectors as well as automatic sample pressure control for walk-away operation. The system stops and activates status lights to notify an operator when reservoirs need refilling or other attention is required. A software option can “slave” the system to a robotic plate handler.

Typical samples include:

- Bead-based cellular or combi-chem libraries

- Large cells / clusters (adipocytes, embryoid bodies, pancreatic islets, duct cells, hepatocytes)

- Small multicellular model organisms (C.elegans, D.melanogaster, Zebrafish)

- Seeds (Arabidopsis, tobacco)
