MACSQuant Tyto Cell Sorter

MACSQuant Tyto Cell Sorter

The Cytometry Center at the Biomedical Core Facility (BCF), Technion, proudly announces the availability of the MACSQuant Tyto Cell Sorter, a cutting‑edge instrument designed to elevate single‑cell analysis to a new level of precision and sterility. This advanced technology from Miltenyi Biotec provides exceptional sorting performance while ensuring sample integrity through its innovative closed, disposable cartridge system.

Thanks to the generosity of Prof. Naama Geva-Zatorsky, who acquired the instrument using her prestigious ERC grant, the MACSQuant Tyto is made accessible to the entire research community. Her commitment to open science and collaborative research enables all users to benefit from this state‑of‑the‑art platform.

The Tyto’s high‑speed, gentle sorting mechanism significantly accelerates workflows while preserving cellular viability. Its sterile, aerosol‑free operation minimizes contamination risk and ensures operator safety—making it ideal for sensitive applications, hazardous samples, and downstream functional assays. Researchers can efficiently isolate rare cell populations, generate clonal lines, and perform complex multiparameter sorting with confidence.

Key Features at a Glance:

Closed Cartridge Technology – Ensures full sterility and contamination‑free setup.
Aerosol‑free Operation – Protects both users and samples, suitable even for BSL‑2 workflows.
Ultra‑Gentle Sorting Mechanism – Maximizes viability and maintains cellular functionality.
3‑Laser (405, 488, 638 nm) and 8‑Channel Detection System – Supports multiparametric analyses with high sensitivity.

By integrating the MACSQuant Tyto, the BCF strengthens its commitment to providing researchers with advanced tools for biomedical discovery—driving reliability, reproducibility, and scientific innovation across disciplines.
