Flipper is our first test of running a remote site. The sorter is currently installed at CCSR 3232. Access is limited; contact Jonathan for more information. This instrument has 2 lasers and 8 colors.
New Aria II Sorter (Falstaff) Operational
The new 5 laser Aria II sorter is listed in the Scheduler as Falstff, in honer of the opera by Verdi. Falstaff features UV, violet, blue, green, and red excitations, with 17 colors of measurement. Training is on-going. All current Aria self-operators will need to take a very short refresher training for the new nozzles that will be used on Falstaff and the old Aria. These refreshers will be scheduled soon - watch your email!
New Rates for FY 2009-2010
New rates have been posted for the current fiscal year. The digital sorters and analyzers are unchanged. The older instruments have reduced rates.They will be reevaluated in February 2010.
New InFlux Sorter
A new 7 laser 22 color high speed sorter, called the InFlux (named Carmen in our Scheduler) is up and running. We are currently integrating it into the Facilty milieu. Access will be limited for a while, however we are looking for projects that cannot be done on our current instruments due to their limitations. Such projects included small particles, fluorchromes such as CFP, chromosone sorting etc. If you have any unmet needs or ideas, please contact us!
