Cytek offers FACSVantage SE cytometers. The SE offers high-performance, high-speed cell sorting capability, and is used throughout the global research community. The FACSVantage SE provides:

Multicolor analysis and sorting
FACStation Data Management System
Flexible and modular for upgradability

The FACSVanatage SE system can have the DIVA Digital Option added, which transforms the SE flow cytometer into a completely digital instrument. The DIVA Option includes full interbeam compensation networks (any laser and any parameter), fluorescence detection (expansion up to 14 parameters: 2 scatter and 12 fluorescence), and four-way sorting capability. The Vantage SE DIVA provides all the features and benefits of the standard SE, plus:

Eliminates electronic dead-time for improved sort yields
Digitizes 10 million signals per second into more than 16,000 different levels
Triggers off any parameter or combination of parameters
Compensates and logs amplify post acquisition or in real-time
