Analytical flow cytometry platform

Here is the professional English translation for the analytical equipment and laboratory resources section:

The analytical flow cytometry platform includes:

• BD FACSymphony™ A1 Flow Cytometer: An analytical flow cytometer equipped with 4 excitation lasers (637 nm, 561 nm, 488 nm, 405 nm) and a detector system currently capable of analyzing up to 16 parameters simultaneously.
• BD LSRII 4-Laser Flow Cytometer: An analytical flow cytometer equipped with 4 excitation lasers (488 nm, 633 nm, 405 nm, and 350 nm) and a detector system currently capable of analyzing up to 10 parameters simultaneously.
• BD FACSymphony™ A5SE Cell Analyzer: An analytical flow cytometer equipped with five lasers (UV, Violet, Blue, Yellow-Green, and Red) capable of evaluating up to 35 parameters simultaneously for each individual cell. The instrument's optical bench allows for the utilization of latest-generation fluorochromes, which feature high fluorescence intensity and minimized emission spectrum overlap and crosstalk. Furthermore, the manufacturer provides a complimentary consulting service for optimization of flow cytometry panels and for conjugating antibodies with specific fluorochromes if they are not commercially available.
• Sample preparation equipment (as needed): Fume hood, biosafety cabinet (biohazard hood), $CO_2$ incubator (37°C), refrigerators (+4°C and -20°C), and temperature-controlled centrifuges.
• Common reagents and materials required for flow cytometry analysis, including those for instrument operation and end-of-use cleaning cycles.
• Benchtop equipment and disposable plasticware for sample preparation prior to flow cytometry analysis.
• Standard operating procedures (SOPs) for primary flow cytometry applications, as well as the optimization of custom protocols tailored to specific research needs.
• Hardware and software systems for data analysis and processing of .fcs files exported from the acquisition instrument.
