Our LSR-Fortessas are 4/5 laser, 18 colour machines. We use saline as a sheath fluid, which is in 20 litre ‘FACSFlow’ boxes under the benches behind the machine. The Fortessas run at the same speed with the same software as the CantoII

Fortessas are the best cytometers we have for measuring yellow excited flourochromes such as mCherry and Alexa568.

Our second Fortessa has exactly the same configuration as our first fortessa on the violet, yellow and red laser paths, but a different configuration on the blue laser and the addition of 2 channels on Ultra-Violet 355nm
