Sony ID7000 Spectral Cytometer at UF ICBR

The Cytometry & Optical Microscopy core at UF ICBR has recently acquired the state-of-the-art Sony ID7000 Spectral Cytometer, located at McKnight Brain Institute (MBI) room L3-160. This newest addition to the facility offers unparalleled capabilities for researchers, significantly expanding their experimental possibilities. The Sony ID7000 features an impressive configuration of five lasers and 144 detectors, enabling experiments utilizing over 40 fluorophores simultaneously.

A key advantage of this system is its advanced autofluorescence separation, capable of distinguishing up to five individual autofluorescence signatures. This capability greatly enhances the accuracy and clarity of data, particularly in complex biological samples. Additionally, the ID7000 is equipped with a plate loader/tube rack that can automatically handle up to 24 tubes. This feature enables automated, hands-off operation, including the ability to mix, switch, and record samples, as well as execute shutdown and power-off sequences at the end of a run, thus streamlining experimental workflows and reducing researcher workload.

Researchers are now able to leverage the system’s advanced capabilities for their projects, driving forward scientific discovery at UF ICBR. Contact Cytometry & Optical Microscopy today
