Basics of Flow Cytometry
•cells in suspension
•flow in single-file through
•an illuminated volume where they
scatter light and emit fluorescence
•that is collected, filtered and
converted to digital values
•that are stored on a computer

Principle of Flow Cytometry
• If laminar flow made in flow cell, cells are made to pass the center of sheath stream forcibly by using the
hydrodynamic focusing
• Cells are detected one by one with laser beam
• Various emitted light are efficiently collected, separated by optical filters and detected with PMTs
• Detectors output voltage signals related to brightness
• Signals are converted to digital value

Band pass filter (BP)
Flow Cell Dichroic long pass filters (DLP)
Separate fluorescence based on wavelength When a cell passes a laser beam in flow cells, the cell emit scatter and fluorescence from the fluorescent dye. Forward Scatter (FSC), Side Scatter (SSC) and fluorescence (FL) are separated based on their wavelength by optics filters and lead to detectors (PMT).

• The scatter and the fluorescence occur when a cell passes a laser beam. Detectors make out voltage pulse caused from each intensity. • Pulse Height are directly proportional to intensity. However, they change by detector's sensitivity control. Histogram Cytogram Time Voltage pulse Area • Integrated value (Area) shows total amount of light from the cell. • These analog value are converted to digital value by ADC. HeightHistogram

Conventional cell sorters require adjustment of optical axis, droplet formation, side stream adjustment, decision of delay time by a dedicated operator. However,
SH800Z eliminates the need for these tasks. Also, the adoption of a plastic chip sorting, washing operation is no longer time-consuming. In addition, we have achieved a small 1/3 compared to conventional products by taking advantage of the integrated technology and compact mechanical design technology cultivated in the Blu-ray optical techniques.
As "personal" cell sorter, the SH800Z will contribute to improvement of the workflow efficiency, and cost reduction for everyone including customers who heavily use the sorter for their research.
