II.1.4) Short description:

The FACS Core Facility at Aarhus University wishes to purchase a 6-laser BigFoot cell sorter for use in the core facility. The facility has a need to be able to sort live GMO classified cells as well as infectious cells, therefore the sorter must be within a GMO class II biosafety cabinet. Low noise is crucial, since we have to work and teach in the room the sorter is to be placed in. In addition, we have a need to sort many plates (96, 384 and 1536 well plates) with a high speed to improve cell viability and complicated combinations of fluorochromes from e.g. confetti mice.

561 nm: PE, PE-tandems, RFP, AsRed, mCherry, tdTomato

637-642 nm: APC, AF647, Draq7, AF700, nIR live/dead, APC-Fire750

3) The sorter must be a jet-in-air sorter to accommodate the need for high-speed cell sorting

4) The cell sorter must be able to analyze the full spectrum of the fluorophores and use spectral unmixing for sorting and in addition, it must also be able use conventional compensation

5) High-speed multi-stream plate sorting for 96- and 384-well plates

6) The sorter must be able to sort into 1536-well plates for single cell sorting

7) The sorter must be able to sort 6 populations simultaneously to avoid loss of sample (especially needed when sorting patient samples)

8) Collection tubes must be temperature controlled

9) Flexible choice of nozzles to accommodate our different users. We need nozzles covering these diameters: 70, 100, 120 and 150 µm

10) Due to working environment the instrument including the biosafety cabinet must be silent (less than 60 db).
