Sony SA3800 LE-SA3800FA Spectral Cell Analyzer with 4 Lasers and 36 Detectors

The Sony SA3800 Spectral Cell Analyzer (Model LE-SA3800FA) is a sophisticated spectral flow cytometer designed for advanced multiparameter single-cell analysis critical in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and immunophenotyping research. It integrates:

• 4 spatially separated excitation lasers: 405 nm (violet), 488 nm (blue), 561 nm (yellow-green), and 638 nm (red) for broad fluorochrome excitation.
• 36 detectors, including a 32-channel PMT (500–800 nm) and 2-channel PMT (420–500 nm), enabling precise spectral unmixing across up to 34 fluorescence colors, supporting high-dimensional biomarker discovery and rare cell detection workflows.
• Outstanding fluorescence sensitivity: FITC at 120 MESF, PE at 70 MESF, with fluorescence resolution CV less than 3% for propidium iodide-stained singlet peaks.
• Size detection range from 0.5 to 40 µm and an event acquisition rate up to 20,000 events per second, suitable for detailed immune profiling and tumor microenvironment analysis.

The analyzer features a 3D AutoSampler capable of handling 24 Falcon 5-mL tubes and multiple microplate formats (96- and 384-well), with rapid measurement speeds (e.g., 96-well plate in 25 minutes), supporting high-throughput bioprocessing and screening studies.

Additional attributes include factory-aligned fixed optics ensuring stability and low maintenance, automated fluidics with buffer and waste management, and a system weight of 95 kg. Integrated FCS Express 7 Analysis Software (1-year RUO subscription included) delivers advanced flow cytometry data processing with comprehensive visualization, gating, and reporting capabilities essential for synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.

This spectral cell analyzer is widely adopted in biomedical engineering, clinical diagnostics, and cell imaging applications requiring reliable multiplex detection and high-dimensional data acquisition. Its design supports seamless integration into established laboratory workflows, promoting reproducible research outcomes in complex biological systems analysis.
