• Two lasers: argon, red diode (633nm)
• Six parameter analysis and sorting/doublet discrimination for DNA analysis
• Four-color analysis using FITC, PE, PE-Cy5 (or PerCP), and APC
• Macintosh platform (CellQuest) for data acquisition and analysis

• Capable of measuring up to 100 different analytes/tube.
• Technology: molecular reactions take place on the surface of microspheres.
• Thousands of molecules are attached to the surface of internally color-coded microspheres.
• Assigned color-code identifies the reaction throughout the test
• Magnitude of the biomolecular reaction is measured using a second molecule called a reporter.
• Reporter molecule signals the extent of the reaction by attaching to the molecules on the microspheres.
• Two sources of color: the color-code inside the microsphere and the reporter color on the surface of the microsphere.
