Fluorescence Cell Sorter

The MA900 from Sony meets the needs of most sorting applications, supporting 12 fluorescence parameters and 4-way sorting.

Powerful, modern technologies built into the MA900 system include a patented micro fluidic chip-based design, comprehensive fluidic controls, and advanced automation that dramatically simplifies operation to make sorting less subjective and improve reliability.

Up to 14 parameters from 4 lasers

The MA900 offers choice and flexibility, enabling the detection of up to 14 parameters. Choose from 4 excitation lasers—488 nm, 405 nm, 561 nm, and 638 nm—on two beam spots. Free-form PMTs enable detection of fluorescence signals from each beam spot, allowing detection of up to 12 fluorescence parameters and two scatter parameters.

Automation across the workflow

The MA900 offers a high level of automation. Startup, aseptic cleaning, QC, and sort setup operate with a touch of a button to ensure optimal daily alignment of the chip to the lasers, precise targeting, and fast recovery from clogging. Wizard based cleaning cycles simplify maintenance and can be customized for aseptic sorting.

Easy to learn and use

The MA900 software guides operation. Advanced controls enable customization, and powerful tools let you focus on the biology, not the cytometer.
