BD LSRFortessa cell analyzer offers the ultimate in choice for flow cytometry, providing power, performance, and consistency. Designed to be and expandable, the BD LSRFortessa has the flexibility to support the expanding needs of multicolor flow cytometry assays. The BD LSRFortessa system can be configured with up to 7 lasers*,blue, red, violet, UV and yellow-green. The instrument can accommodate the detection of up to 18 colors simultaneously with a defined set of optical filters that meet or exceed the majority of today's assay requirements. BD FACSDiva software controls the efficient setup, acquisition, and analysis of flow cytometry data from the BD LSRFortessa workstation. The software is common across BD FACS instrument families, including the BD FACSCanto cell analyzer and BD FACSAria cell sorter systems. [Product Link]
The Flow Cytometry Core provides analytical flow cytometry services and live cell sorting under enhanced Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2+) conditions.
Instruments available include six analyzers ranging from 4-30 color acquisition and three sorters using 1-,2-,4-way, and plate sorting between 6-18 colors. We provide experimental and panel design consultation as a service.
The core also provides continued education in seminar format and one-on-one sessions with user. The core is heavily utilized and supports research projects for a significant number of core and affiliate scientists.
The Flow Cytometry Core at the Tulane National Primate Research Center was awarded the ISAC Shared Resource Laboratory Recognition in April of 2025. This designation is given to flow cytometry facilities that adhere to internationally recognized best practices. This recognition is awarded between 2025-2028 with possibility of applying for continued recognition.
