SP6800 Spectral Analyzer The Sony SP6800 Spectral Analyzer uses spectral technology to optimize sensitivity and enhance dim signal detection by collecting photons from 420nm to 800nm. Spectral technology also simplifies multicolor panel design, by eliminating bandpass filters and conventional compensation matrices while delivering better data and simplifying visualization for the study of heterogeneous populations. Novel global standardization mode automatically sets the system to a master specification with a single click. This capability eliminates instrument variability from day to day...

The 405nm, 488nm and 638nm excitation lasers are positioned to reduce fluorescent noise. They enable the system to support 16 or more fluorescent parameters. The SP6800 spectral flow analyzer improves sensitivity and simplifies application design, workflow, and analysis over conventional flow cytometers. This is achieved using spectral analysis technology, advanced electronics, and patented optical technologies. These capabilities, unique to Sony Biotechnology systems, allow experienced and novice flow cytometrists to achieve greater flexibility for panel design and more accurate...

Spectral Library Experiment Creation The Spectral Library lets users create a personal reagent library that simplifies experiment creation and saves time. An Acquisition Wizard assists the users with step by step instructions to acquire and analyze single positive controls for your spectral library. Once acquired the spectral reference for that reagent including the spectral index are available for future use. Information from the spectral library is available to users with a simple click improving accuracy and streamline panel design. Experiments can be created using a template, an...

Spectral Analysis Technology Spectral analysis technology is the foundation of the SP6800 system. Spectral flow cytometry streamlines workflow and yields better data by keeping all the light collected. In conventional systems, overlapping fluorescence is subtracted using color compensation, so less light is collected. Instead, spectral flow cytometers sum the fluorescence together and then use unmixing to mathematically separate the colors. This powerful capability also simplifies workflow including panel design, and improves visualization of autofluorescence. A unique prism collection...

Uniform measurement of Fluorescent Emissions A correction system adjusts the offset and sensitivity of each channel of the 32 channel PMT to ensure a uniform and accurate measurement of fluorescent emission from 420nm to 800nm. The corrective system brings a standardization to all 32 PMTs ensuring the user is getting the most reliable data with the ease of adjusting only one voltage. This saves time over conventional flow cytometry operation where users must calibrate each individual PMT. Post correction Pre and Post Correction Profile. Each graph illustrates pre and post correction in the...
