FP7000 Cell Sorter overview

Experience the Difference

The newly announced FP7000 Spectral Cell Sorter supports high-parameter sorting leveraging its patented spectral technology-based optics, advanced electronics, and fluidics to support sorting of experiments with more than 44 colors.

The FP7000 brings together the superior spectral technology and the versatile workflows from the Sony cell sorter portfolio to provide reliable system automation and guided workflows that enable researchers to obtain results in an unbiased manner as well as improve operational efficiency.

This meets the needs of busy laboratories pursuing simple to complex high-parameter applications.

Sony FP7000 Cell Sorter

Designed for Reliable, High Performance Spectral Cell Sorting

This new high-parameter spectral cell sorter is configurable with up to 6 lasers and 182 detectors enabling the detection and sorting of cell populations of interest, using complex panels comprised of more than 44 colors.

It also supports multiple nozzle sizes for optimized sorting of a wide range of cell types. Its high-speed, real-time spectral unmixing capability, combined with high-speed sorting, enables up to 6-way sorting of populations at event rates of 25,000 events per second.

Unparalleled System Design

Unparalleled System Design, featuring powerful optics, reliable fluidics technology for high-speed sorting, and robust unmixing algorithms, delivers the highest data quality and performance while eliminating subjective analysis (e.g., compensation) for spectral cell sorting.

  • Configurable with up to 6 lasers and 182 detectors, to use multicolor panels of >44 colors.**
  • Real-time spectral unmixing for high-speed sorting (25,000 eps at 100 kHz, using a 70-µm nozzle)
  • Streamlined software workflows with built-in troubleshooting and error handling ensure confidence in operation, even for new users.
  • Automated system maintenance and remote service support provide peace of mind for laboratory administrators.

Wide Range of Applications

Support for a Wide Range of Applications has been a cornerstone of our system and software design philosophy. The FP7000 is built with the flexibility to meet the diverse cell sorting needs of multi-user facilities, based on biological conditions and cell types being used.

  • Multiple nozzle sizes are available to sort a range of cell types
  • A choice of default and custom sort modes for optimal sorting of a range of applications
  • A seamless nozzle setup and exchange process reduces downtime between users and/or experiments to increase laboratory efficiency, while delivering the highest data quality
  • Optics matched with the ID7000 Spectral Cell Analyzer to sort populations of interest without extensive panel redesign and optimization
  • Optional upgrades for specialized applications—405-nm SSC option for detection and sorting of small particles.

Best-in-Class Resolution and Sensitivity
to Address Evolving Research Needs

FP7000

Nozzles—70 μm, 100 μm,
and 130 μm—can be loaded
on the nozzle loader. 

Users can exchange the
sample line as part of
routine maintenance
or based on their
application needs.

Samples can be
agitated at 300
and 150 rpm using
eccentric rotation.

Tubes of various sizes
(0.5 mL, 1 mL, 5 mL,
and 15 mL) can be
used in the sample
loader, which maintains
temperature at 5°C and
37°C using a built-in
Peltier device.

Sort chamber supports
6-way, 4-way, and 2-way
tube holders cooled
using a Peltier device.
Supports single-cell
sorting into 96- and
384-well plates.
