Used BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCanto II #293648231 for sale

BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCanto II is a state-of-the-art cell analyzer for flow cytometry experiments. It is composed of a computer-controlled optical bench and a flow cell. The optical bench consists of multiple optical modules, comprising three lasers and a light source, which are used to illuminate up to four different fluorescent channels. The lasers are positioned in a vertical plane and set accurately by the computer-controlled servos. The optical bench also houses several parfocality adjustment elements, including PD-PMTs, that prevent the individual lasers from changing intensity or focus angles over time. Furthermore, each laser is equipped with an attenuator to allow for the dynamic setting of the excitation power to the emitted fluorescence. The flow cell is the central element in the instrument and it is responsible for moving the cells through the beam at a predetermined flow rate. It is composed of precision nozzles and a low-volume sample delivery system with low dead-volume electronics to ensure accurate data collection. The flow cell also contains dual digital scales, allowing simultaneous analysis of two different cell populations. FACSCanto II is designed to handle samples of any size, from less than a single cell to millions of cellular specimens. It is equipped with an advanced sampling system and provides a wide range of data acquisition features including programmable data acquisition parameters, linear dynamic range, and automated data capture. The instrument can detect cells labeled with up to 10 different fluorescent dyes, providing an impressive amount of information from even the most complex samples. BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCanto II utilizes a unique hybrid pulse-counting technology to measure the fluorescent intensity of cells. By using a combination of optical alignment and pulse counting functions, this instrument is able to accurately and reliably quantify fluorescence intensity down to very low levels. It also features improved data acquisition speed and sensitivity for increased speed in processing experiments. Along with the wide range of adjustable parameters and the built-in compensation settings, FACSCanto II makes it remarkably easy to obtain accurate results while minimizing costly and time-consuming work-ups. In summary, BD BIOSCIENCES FACSCanto II is a powerful flow cytometry analysis system designed to deliver accurate and high-quality data in an efficient and user-friendly manner. Its cutting-edge hardware and laboratory-grade components make it ideal for a variety of high-throughput cell analysis applications.
