Used BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur #162816 for sale

BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur is a flow cytometer designed for laboratory research and clinical applications. Based on the Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) technology, it is used to measure and analyze the physical and biochemical characteristics of samples, such as small cells and subcellular particles, by first suspending them in a fluid stream and then passing them through a laser beam. FACSCalibur is the predecessor to BECTON DICKINSON FACSCanto, and is one of the most widely used cytometers in existence. It provides researchers and clinicians with a wide range of flow cytometry capabilities and flexibility. BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur utilizes various optical filters, lasers, and detectors to measure multiple physical and/or biochemical parameters in cell suspensions with accurate, reproducible results. The system offers its users a variety of features, such as real-time acquisition of multiple parameters, ability to sort cells into up to four fractions, trigger modes to focus the laser on the desired cell population, sample dilution capability, and 13-color capability. By using FACSCalibur, researchers can collect a wide variety of information about the size, shape, and fluorescence of their samples, as well as biochemical measurements related to cell surface proteins, DNA content, and many other parameters. To optimize the performance of BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur, it also offers software packages for data acquisition, analysis, cell sorting, and other research applications. Together with its line of accessories and consumable supplies such as reagent kits, FACS buffer, collection tubes and filters, FACSCalibur can be tailored to the needs of the user. BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur is an essential tool in both research and clinical settings. By analyzing cell populations in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods, FACSCalibur can provide invaluable insights that can only be obtained with flow cytometry.
