Explanation:
Unlike a conventional fluorescence-activated sorter, the Miltenyi MACSQuant Tyto uses an ultra-fast sorting valve, operates at low pressure, does not involve applying a charge to the cells, nor any compression/decompression of cells. Therefore, the Tyto is very gentle to cells which increases viability. This is very important for brain cells such as astrocytes which are worked on heavily in UK DRI Edinburgh labs.
