Berkeley Lights Lightning Optofluidics Platform
This is a novel optofluidic platform that allows one to visualize the phenotype & function of individual cells on a microchip that contains 1500 chambers. 

Isoplexis
This chip-based platform analyzes single cells for the production of 32 human cytokines or 28 mouse cytokines and effector molecules including effector, stimulatory, chemoattractive, regulatory and inflammatory mediators.

Luminex Flexmap 3D
The FLEXMAP 3D® system combines differentially dyed fluorescent microsphere sets with an innovative instrument design to enable precise, flexible, rapid multiplexing of up to 500 unique assays within a single sample.

MACSQuant 10 Flow Cytometer
This flow cytometer is a 10-parameter, 8-color flow cytometry analyzer that uses a CAR T Cell Express Mode Package design or one can create their own flow cytometry panels.

xCELLigence RTCA 6-Plate System
This instrument allows for measurement of immune cell cytotoxicity or cell death in a 96-well format.

FACSAria II
The FACSAria II operator-assisted high speed cell sorting in both standard and BSL-2+ modes. It has a 13 color 15-parameter custom-made high-speed digital bench-top cell sorter equipped with four adjustable excitation lasers (100 mW Blue, 50 mW 561nm Green, 100 mW Red and 100 mW violet).

LSRII
The LSRII is a multi-laser flow cytometer that utilizes fixed-alignment lasers that transmit light reflected by mirrors through a flow cell to user-defined octagon and trigon arrays. These fluorescence signals are collected and translated to electronic signals then converted to digital data.

FACSCalibur
A two-laser (488nm, 615 nm), four-color, six-parameter, bench-top analyzer used primarily for evaluating surface and intracellular antigen expression, apoptosis detection, bead-based cytokine detection and cell-cycle analysis.

LSRFortessa X20
The analyzer can be configured with up to 5 lasers to detect up to 20 parameters simultaneously to support ever increasing demands in multicolor flow cytometry. A wide range of up to 34 laser choices is available as excitation sources, including blue, red, violet, yellow-green, and UV.

Wolf Cell Sorter
The sorter uses a totally different approach compared to conventional jet-in-air cell sorters. This is critical for sensitive cells like Stem Cells where high pressures can damage cells and affect their biological behavior. With an on-chip fast valve, NanoCellect鈥檚 sorting mechanism gently guides cells into collection channels.

Chromium Single Cell Gene Expression- 10X Genomics
Chromium Single Cell Immune Profiling analyzes full length paired B-cell or T-cell receptors, surface protein expression, antigen specificity, and gene expression, all from a single cell.
