Used BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur #9266475 for sale

BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur is a laboratory equipment and accessory used in flow cytometry. It is used to analyze numerous samples at the same time and can provide detailed data on the individual cells present in each sample. FACSCalibur is designed to detect different parameters such as cell size, shape, internal complexity and fluorescence intensity. The instrument has a flow cytometer, which separates particles by hydrodynamic focusing, and a three-dimensional laser optical detection system which detects the particles and allows for further analysis. The hardware consists of a 16 channel photo-multiplier tube, a tunable laser, a central computer and a couple of robotic arms. The laser is used to measure the fluorescence of the emitted particles from the sample and the photo-multiplier tube is used to detect the emitted particles and convert the signal into a digital signal. The computer is responsible for analyzing the signal provided from the photo-multiplier tube and controlling the robotic arms. The robotic arms are responsible for handling the sample and cells, pushing them through the hydrodynamic flow device as well as collecting the results from the analysis done by the computer. The software includes CaliSoft, a graphical user interface which displays a comprehensive overview of the instrument and data arrangement. This software is used to acquire and store the signals given by the photo- multipliers and convert it into a format that can be imported and used with other data analysis software. CaliSoft also provides tools for cell sorting and data sorting, as well as access to data analysis algorithms and statistical tests. BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur is capable of analyzing a wide variety of cell types such as mammalian cells, bacteria, yeast and protists, as well as different varieties of cell counts from both single cell suspensions and populations. With its two lasers and numerous detectors, the instrument can measure up to 16 different parameters at the same time. FACSCalibur is also capable of measuring cell concentrations, allowing for precise and accurate cell analysis. Furthermore, BECTON DICKINSON FACSCalibur is equipped with a built-in laser alignment system, allowing for continuous alignment and calibration of the instrument, thereby ensuring maximum signal quality. Overall, FACSCalibur is an advanced laboratory equipment and accessory used for flow cytometry, capable of providing detailed data on individual cells and a wide variety of cell types. The instrument features a range of hardware and software components designed to enable accurate cell measurements and analysis, and its built-in features and capabilities make it an invaluable tool in any laboratory.
