Used BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur #162817 for sale

The BD BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur™ is a laboratory equipment and accessory suite from BECTON DICKINSON tailored to meet the needs of clinical and research laboratories. The title comes from the acronym FACS (Fluorescence Activated Cell Sotor) and Calibur (Computer Automated Laser Illumination and Battery Retrieval). This equipment is used to analyze and sort various types of cells, including blood and bone marrow cells, based upon their fluorescence. The BD FACSCalibur system consists of all the necessary elements to facilitate the analysis and sorting of cells. Internally, the unit has an optical bench, a flow cytometer, optics, and other components. The BD BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur can be used to collect, process, analyse and sort cells through automated methods. The BD FACSCalibur can be used to identify and focus on specific target cells. Through a combination of the flow cytometer and optics, parameters such as size, shape and cellular characteristics can be assessed. Further analysis can be conducted, such as for cell populations or marker expression, prior to sorting. The BD BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur also offers several other features, such as the cell sorter and sample prep setup. A typical cell sorting setup will include the selection of cells with a specific sorting order, microtiter plate collection of sorted populations, and a clean room and aspiration machine. Additionally, the cell pre-treatment setup allows for additional manipulation of cells. Adjustments can be made to the processing conditions including dilutions and re-centrifugations. The BD FACSCalibur tool is capable of analyzing up to 10,000 individual cells per second for up to 4 channels. The laser beam excitation range can be adjusted from 488nm to 640nm and combined with various LED options. The data analysis is powered by the BD Cell Quest Pro™ software which allows for recording and reporting of the data obtained. The BD BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur is a flexible asset that can accommodate various detection demands from a range of research or clinical laboratories. With its quick analysis time, comprehensive sorting capabilities and comprehensive data reporting suite, the BD FACSCalibur is a powerful and efficient cell analysis model.
