Sort Performance
Sort Performance
Event rate 100,000 eps
Sorting Speed Using the 70-μm sorting chip at 50 kHz, an average threshold of 12,000 events per second can be achieved with >98% 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.
Scatter resolution 0.5 μm
Fluorescence resolution < 2.5% half-peak coefficient of variation (HPCV)
Fluorescence sensitivity FITC 120 MESF, PE 110 MESF
Sorting recovery >80% of Poisson's expected yield at 12,000 eps with 70µm sorting chip
Sorting purity >99% purity for using 70µm sorting chip
