Description:

Designed by cell sorting experts for today’s most challenging cell sorting applications, the Bigfoot Spectral Cell Sorter combines performance, safety, and ease-of-use to fit seamlessly into the workflow of both individual labs and core facilities. Bigfoot allows spectral unmixing or conventional compensation for high-parameter, high-throughput cell sorting experiments with maximum flexibility.

With the ability to sort 96-well plates in less than 8 seconds and 384-well plates in less than 20 seconds this sorter is built for the full range of sorting applications, from high speed single cell deposition to deep immunophenotyping, genomics, cell and gene therapy research, and other high-performance, high-throughput applications.
