Union Biometrica, Inc. to exhibit at the 29th Fungal Genetics Conference in Pacific Grove, CA

The COPAS FP platform is designed for the measurement of objects ranging in size from 20–1500 microns (diameter). Each of the four COPAS FP models features a fixed, specially engineered fluidic path, flow cell and optics optimized for a specific subset of that size range to provide maximum speed, accuracy, resolution and throughput, depending on the application. Instruments can dispense objects either into bulk receptacles or multiwell plates. To learn more, see our COPAS FP video at: http://www.unionbio.com/copas/

The Large Particle Sampler (LP Sampler) is the only automated sample introduction system designed specifically for gentle handling of large, fragile objects up to 1500 microns in diameter. It is capable of gently aspirating those samples from multiwell plates or a petri dish and delivering them intact and viable to the COPAS FP system.
Additional information regarding the meeting is available at:http://http://www.genetics-gsa.org/fungal/2017/

About Union Biometrica, Inc.
 Large Particle Flow Cytometry for Gentle Sorting -- Union Biometrica offers tools for high throughput research of fungi, microencapsulated colonies, bead based assays, stem cells and cell clusters (iPS cells and embryoid bodies as well as other types of large cells / cell clusters including adipocytes, neurospheres, duct cells and pancreatic islets) plus model organisms (early stages of zebrafish, C.elegans, Drosophila embryos and larvae, sea urchin embryos, Xenopus eggs and embryos, Daphnia, various marine larvae and zooplankton). We provide Large Particle Flow Cytometers (COPAS™ and BioSorter®) for objects that are too large / too fragile for traditional cytometers and offer an alternative to manual sorting. These systems analyze and sort objects based on size and fluorescent parameters. Automating this process offers increased speed, sensitivity, quantification, and repeatability of experiments.
