New Instruments
GenCore (New York) has recently acquired an Element Biosciences Aviti sequencing system, which is compatible with third party libraries, including Illumina libraries.
This instrument can run one or two flow cells at a time, generating roughly 100M to 1B reads per run, depending on the type of flow cell and kit size used. Each flow cell can run one pool on the entire flow cell or two independent pools by utilizing the individually addressable lanes feature.
GenCore (New York) has purchased a BD FACSDiscover S8 high throughput spectral flow cytometer for analyzing and sorting BSL-1 and BSL-2 samples.
This instrument is capable of visualizing and analyzing cells in real-time. The system is equipped with five lasers (blue, red, violet, yellow-green, and ultraviolet), 78 fluorescent detectors, and 6 imaging detectors. The S8 can sort into tubes or plates, depending on researcher needs.
