FacsAria

The FACSAria has 3 lasers and is able to detect up to 9 colors at one time as well as sort up to 4 populations at once. The FACS Aria is used for analysis of more than 4 colors and cell sorting, its primary function being cell sorting. The FACS Aria is also used when a fluorochrome is required that cannot be detected by the FACS Calibur.

Lasers
488-nm Coherent® SapphireTM solid state
633-nm JDS UniphaseTM HeNe air-cooled

Analysis

Analysis and acquisition on the FACS Aria is done in the FACS Diva software. Using FACS Diva, data may be analyzed on dot plots and histograms with various gates.

Data Delivery

Please bring a USB drive or blank CD to save your data files. The Core Facility does not store or archive data for longer than about 6 months so it is your responsibility to get the data files and save them for future use.
