The Sony SH800Z Sorting Flow Cytometer is a compact, easy to use instrument that performs both cell counting and two-way cell sorting. The integrated laser engine houses 4 lasers, providing excitation lines of 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm and 638 nm. These lasers are combined and delivered through a single fiber while 6 freeform PMTs allow for the detection of fluorescence signals from any laser based on filter selection.

- Nozzle Sizes: 70, 100, 130 µm
- Performance
- Event Rate: 100,000 events per second max
- Sorting Speed: Using the 70 µm sorting chip at 50kHz, an average threshold of 12,000 events per second can be achieved with >95% purity and >80% yield. The threshold rate up to 30,000 events per second can be achieved without affecting purity but with a decrease in yield based on Poisson's statistics. Using 100 µm or 130 µm sorting chips, maximum sorting speed is 10,000 events per second.
- Index Sorting: Yes
- Scatter Resolution: 0.5 µm
- Fluorescense Sensitivity: FITC 120 MESF, PE 110 MESF
