The CGX10 features the ability to use up to 10 parameters to isolate a single cell, and the signal is based on excitation from four lasers (405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, and 638 nm) to detect target cells of interest. By controlling fluidics, cell damage is minimized, allowing for a high viability of sorted cells. Furthermore, Sony added, the instrument uses fully disposable, single-use plastic tubing and components so any risk of cross-contamination between samples is avoided.

Sony is expected to begin deliveries of the CGX10 in the fall of 2022.
