TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

VisionSort Platform
VisionSort brings together fundamental advances in optics, microfluidics, andartificial intelligence (AI) to deliver morphological profiling and label- freecell sorting on top of the capabilities you have come to expect from traditional
fluorescence-only cytometers.

GHOST CYTOMETRY

Powered by scientifically established Ghost Cytometry technology and three fluorescence lasers, VisionSort enables
researchers to perform real-time, AI-driven, single cell sorting with or without labels. Flexible, easy-to-use, and user- controlled
AI algorithms embedded directly in the instrument enable unbiased morphometric characterization and isolation of rare andunique cell populations.

PERFORMANCE
405 nm - 365 mW nominal output power(Structured Illumination)

Fluorescencesensitivity

FITC: <1000 molecules of equivalent soluble
fluorochrome (MESF-FITC)

637 nm - 160 mW nominal output power

Fluorescence
resolution< 5% (HPCV)

Forward scatter (FSC)

Purity and yield

With an average sample cell flow rate of
1,000 events per second, a one-way sortachieved purity of >98% and yield >80%of Poisson’s expected yield. Higher flow
rates up to 3,000 events per second can beachieved without affecting purity; however,yield decreases based on Poisson statistics.

Cell flow rate

Up to 3,000 cells/s (1.1x107 cells/h)
