Flow Cytometer
The benchtop flow cytometer contains the major components for all three
subsystems (fluidics, optics, and electronics). The BD FACSAria II cytometer is
relatively compact, with a much smaller footprint than most sorters with the
same capabilities. The cytometer can be set up on a typical laboratory benchtop
or table, and it requires only a 20-amp electrical outlet. No special facilities are
required.

To view the fluidics components, open the side door and lift the flow cell access
door. To view the optics components, open the optics access door. The power
panel and connectors are found on the left side of the cytometer. Other electronic
components are embedded within the cytometer and do not need user adjustment.
