Used BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur #9301916 for sale

BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur is an advanced laboratory instrument used to count and analyse cells from whole blood, bone marrow and cell suspension samples. FACSCalibur enables scientists to analyse and count cells from multiple samples using fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) technology. It can also measure cell size, shape, and composition. BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur features a variety of detachable and detachable accessories such as a sample processing Module, flow cytometer, and two laser-based optics lines. The sample processing Module is designed to process cell suspensions for fluorescence-based analysis. The flow cytometer groups cells into populations based on their optical properties, including size and granularity. The two laser-based optics lines can be used to measure multiple fluorescence parameters at the same time, providing higher resolution data. The main components of FACSCalibur are the detector tubes, which are used to identify and measure fluorescent signals, the electronic data station, and the computer software. The detector tubes are made up of several optical components, including a mirror, dichroic mirrors, and a photomultiplier tube. The mirrors are used to reflect and guide light onto the detector tubes. Dichroic mirrors allow the selection of only specific wavelengths of light to be reflected. The photomultiplier tube is used to detect the fluorescent signal and to convert the signal into an electrical impulse. The electronic data station is a module that stores all of the data that is collected from the detector tubes. The software associated with BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur can be used to analyse the data that is collected. The analysis includes fluorescence compensation, intensity measurement, and population gating. Fluorescence compensation is used to subtract background fluorescence from each of the different fluorescent measurements, allowing the true fluorescent signals to be measured. Intensity measurement is used to compare the relative fluorescent signals of different populations of cells. Population gating is used to identify and sort cell populations based on their fluorescent properties. FACSCalibur is an advanced and reliable laboratory instrument that enables biologists, medical professionals, and researchers to analyse and identify cells in their samples. BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCalibur uses a state-of-the-art detector system, a powerful and comprehensive computer software, and a variety of attachments and sample processing modules to provide accurate data and results.
