Sample prep and information for BD FACSAria
The FACSAria III has four lasers and is able to detect up to 15 colors at one time as well as sort up to four populations at once. The primary function of the FACS Aria is sterile cell sorting.

Analysis
The Fortessa computer uses FACS Diva software to collect data. These files will be uploaded onto the Flow server for the user to then analyze in FlowJo or similar software. You are able to download FlowJo from their website and the core has a USB dongle you can check out free of charge.
Data Delivery
All data files are uploaded to a folder on a UAMS server under the Flow Core.
