JSAN^TM : A Desktop Cell Sorter for the New Era

The JSAN (Japan-made sorter, analyzer) desktop cell sorter has evolved since its introduction, resulting in significantly improved performance, reliability and user-friendly operation.

As a sorter that is as simple to use as an analyzer, the improved JSAN facilitates sorting of target cells with excellent purity and high recovery.

By providing simplified operation, high performance, and very high speed data acquisition, this reliable platform has become the flowcytomer of choice for labs with the need for both excellent analytical and sorting capabilities. In keeping with the advances in the field, JSAN customers may now choose lasers with emission wavelengths ranging from the UV to the deep red regions of the spectrum. Available options such as the CloneMate* address the need for sorting single or multiple cells into microtiter plates.

Biosafety options include an aerosol containment system (air from sort chamber exits through HEPA filter), and full BSL-2 containment with the Baker BioPROTect III Jr biosafety cabinet.

The JSAN development project began in 1995, and Bay bioscience Co., Ltd., as its manufacturer, has been devoted in further advancing its technology. The design is based on the collaborative research and product development achievement of "the Micro-cell Information Detection System", funded by NEDO, or New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan.

*CloneMate: An advanced optional device for automated cell deposition that enables direct sorting of single cells or any desired number of cells into each well in a microtiter plate.
