Sort Collection Chamber
Collection devices are installed in the sort collection chamber to collect sorted
samples during sorting. The following collection devices are provided with the
cytometer to accommodate a variety of tube sizes:
• Four-way 1-mL collection tube holder
• Four-way 12 x 75-mm collection tube holder
• Two-way 12 x 75-mm collection tube holder
• Two-way 15-mL collection tube holder
An automated cell deposition unit (ACDU) that sorts into multiwell plates and
onto microscope slides is available as an option. BD Biosciences also offers a
temperature-control option to maintain the temperature of sorted samples during
sorting.

The sort collection chamber door should be kept closed when sorting into a plate.
The door keeps the chamber free of dust and other air-borne particles, and seals
the chamber during aerosol evacuation for cytometers equipped with the AMO.
