What is FACSCalibur flow cytometer?
The Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer offers a unique approach to flow cytometry, allowing users to perform both cell analysis and cell sorting in a single system, providing flexibility for a variety of research and clinical applications.
What is BD flow cytometry?
The BD FACSCelesta multi-colour cell analyzer helps rapidly and accurately analyze cells in a compact, affordable package. The BD FACSMelody cell sorter makes the complex world of flow cytometry and sorting surprisingly simple for more researchers, enabling deep scientific insights, lab efficiency and cost savings.
What is cytometry technique?
Cytometry involves a wide range of cutting-edge techniques, most of which measure the molecular properties of cells by employing fluorescent labeling to detect specific antigens using antibodies, intracellular ions using indicator dyes, fluorescent reporter molecules such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), and DNA and …
What is a flow cytometer used for?
Flow cytometry is a technology that provides rapid multi-parametric analysis of single cells in solution. Flow cytometers utilize lasers as light sources to produce both scattered and fluorescent light signals that are read by detectors such as photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes.
What is fluorescent activated cell sorting?
Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is a technique to purify specific cell populations based on phenotypes detected by flow cytometry. This method enables researchers to better understand the characteristics of a single cell population without the influence of other cells.
How flow cytometry is performed?
Flow cytometry is a lab test used to analyze characteristics of cells or particles. During the process, a sample of cells or particles is suspended in fluid and injected into a flow cytometer machine. Approximately 10,000 cells can be analyzed and processed by a computer in less than one minute.
What are the principles of flow cytometry?
Flow cytometry uses three basic scientific principles—fluid dynamics, optics, and electronics—to detect, count, and do cell sorting.
What are the three main systems in a flow cytometer?
A flow cytometer is made up of three main systems: fluidics, optics, and electronics. The fluidics system transports particles in a stream to the laser beam for interrogation.
What is BD facscalibur™ flow cytometry?
The BD FACSCalibur™ platform offers a unique modular approach to flow cytometry and allows users to perform both cell analysis and cell sorting in an innovative single bench-top system. Designed with multicolor application support in mind, the BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer provides flexibility to support a wide
What makes BD facscalibur different?
And the BD FACSCalibur system is the first to include diode laser technology and interbeam compensation—all in an alignment-free benchtop system. Sorting† Multiparameter flow cytometry combined with cell sorting adds an additional dimension to the information you gain from your sample.
How does it work with BD sorters?
It leverages a unique patented gel-coupled cuvette flow cell that increases the sensitivity and resolution needed for multicolor applications. The trusted technology of BD’s sorters compacted and updated with automation and user-friendly software making cell sorting easier and more accessible than ever before.
What is the HTS option for the BD facscalibur?
samples with the BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer in a microtiter plate. As a modular option for new or existing BD FACSCalibur flow cytometers, the HTS option is designed to speed through a variety of microtiter plates in less than 15 minutes* and support a wide range of applications including the BD™ Cytometric Bead Array assay.
