The Sony Flow Cytometry portfolio offers a comprehensive range of flow cytometry solutions, including chip based cell sorters, spectral cell analyzers, and spectral cell sorters. Built on a user focused design philosophy, Sony instruments are engineered to simplify operation, remove unnecessary complexity, and deliver reliable performance across diverse research environments.
Sony SH800 and MA900 cell sorters are designed to make cell sorting accessible to users of all experience levels. These systems are configurable with multiple excitation laser options and enable high purity, high viability multi way sorting into tubes or plates, supporting a wide range of downstream applications. Chip based microfluidics simplify sorting while accommodating multiple cell sizes, and intuitive software with built in automation minimizes training requirements. As a result, Sony cell sorters are easy to own, operate, and maintain in laboratories ranging from genomics and cell biology to translational and clinical research.
The FP7000 Spectral Cell Sorter combines Sony’s proven sorting technology with true spectral detection. The FP7000 enables gentle, high purity spectral cell sorting while allowing researchers to resolve highly overlapping fluorophores and expand panel design beyond traditional compensation based methods. Flexible laser configurations, full spectrum detection, and guided software workflows support high parameter experiments while preserving cell viability, making the FP7000 ideal for both individual laboratories and shared core facilities.
The ID7000 Spectral Cell Analyzer delivers true spectral flow cytometry with the highest number of detectors available on any platform, providing exceptional flexibility for high parameter discovery research. Configurable with up to seven high power lasers and 187 detectors the system captures maximum signal across the full spectrum while minimizing light loss. It features a fully integrated AutoSampler, standard on all instruments, enabling walk away operation for multi sample workflows while maintaining sample viability and homogeneity through active cooling and agitation. Automated setup, quality control, and shutdown further increase laboratory efficiency. With all detectors always available, configuration management is eliminated, allowing researchers to focus on data analysis and scientific insight.
Explore the capabilities and workflows of Sony’s flow cytometry instruments through interactive virtual tours to see how dependable cell sorting and high parameter spectral analysis can accelerate research in your laboratory or core facility.

Kaon Interactive Applications for the web require a modern HTML5 browser. On the desktop, this means Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer 11, or Safari 8. Support for older graphics hardware varies between browsers. So trying a different browser could help, even using the same hardware.

Some mobile devices also support HTML5, including all iOS 8 devices, and higher-end Android devices when using Google Chrome or Firefox.

The desktop version of this app is available in two versions, depending on what kind of Mac you are using. For best performance and reliability, it's important that you install the right one.

1. At the top left, open the Apple menu.
2. Select About This Mac.
3. In the “Overview” tab, look for “Processor” or “Chip”.
4. Check if it says “Intel” or “Apple”.

The Desktop version of this application can be used on a touchscreen “kiosk.” You will need a Windows or Mac computer, and single- or multi-touch touchscreen that is compatible with that computer and operating system. The screen should be 16:9 aspect ratio, ideally 1080p (on other screen sizes, the app will be automatically scaled and letterboxed as needed). Install the application on the computer and start it normally. If you are using Windows, tap the [ALT] key to show the menu bar. On either Mac or Windows, from the menu bar choose View > Kiosk Mode. You will be prompted to restart.

You need an Internet connection to install this application. Once installed it can be run offline.

If you need to install on an air-gapped computer, such as a kiosk with no Internet connection, you can create an offline installer on a different computer, and then install it from a USB Flash Drive. First, install this application on a PC or Mac that has an Internet connection. When everything has been downloaded from the cloud, you will see a message "Ready for Offline Use". If you are using Windows, tap the [ALT] key to show the menu bar. On either Mac or Windows, from the menu bar choose File > Make Offline Installer. You will be prompted to insert a USB Flash Drive, and then the installer will be written to that device. You will need an Internet connection to create the flash drive. You will be alerted when the flash drive is ready. For large applications, this can take a long time (flash drives are not particularly fast).

Once you have the USB Flash Drive prepared, insert it into the air-gapped computer. You will find installers on the flash drive for both Mac and PC. Perform a normal installation and run the application. When it starts up, it will detect the USB Flash Drive and complete its installation from there instead of from the cloud. After the app is fully installed, you can remove the USB Flash Drive.

Analytics are cached locally on the computer when run without an Internet connection. We recommend connecting to the Internet, restarting the application, and using it for a few minutes at the end of a trade show, to ensure all analytics data is recorded.

This application supports VR using WebXR technology. The standards for this technology are rapidly evolving, and Kaon will continue to update this application as things change. The recommended configuration is:

• Firefox Reality Browser
• HTC Vive Focus 3 headset
• or Oculus Quest or Quest 2 headset

LiveShare is an in-App, interactive experience that enables independent and shared exploration of the application.
