Flow cytometry is a well established biophysical technology for cell counting and cell sorting, esp. for blood cells in routine and research. To adjust the system set-up to the samples, different laser combinations will be necessary.
For optimizing the S/N ratios, it will be always recommended to check the optical components: Specific bandpass filters and precisely selected dichroics (“longpass filters”) should be precisely matched to the combination of lasers and the specific dyes. AHF analysentechnik AG offers a wide selection of specific “FACS” bandpass filters and dichroics which operate as switch between the single optical paths. All filters can be offered completely mounted into different holders, also for Demo. Please feel free to contact the AHF team.
