Aerosol Management
During sample acquisition and sorting, the sort block door and flow cell access
door should be kept closed to help contain potential aerosols (Figure 1-14).

Additional aerosol removal is provided by the BD™ Aerosol Management
Option (AMO). The AMO is an optional device that evacuates the sort collection
chamber during sorting. The AMO is equipped with a 0.01-µm pore ultra-low
penetrating air (ULPA) filter to trap aerosolized particles.
See Appendix C - BD Aerosol Management Option on page 281 for complete
information on using this option.
Cell sorters that use droplet generation methods, like the BD FACSAria II,
can produce aerosols around the sample stream. When acquiring
biohazardous samples, follow universal precautions at all times. Keep the
sort block door closed during sorting. If you need to access the sort block
and you are working with highly infectious samples, consider turning off
the stream before opening the sort block door.
