Used BECTON DICKINSON FACScan #9068028 for sale

BECTON DICKINSON FACScan is a cell analyser designed for use in immunology and cytometry. The equipment is composed of several components that work together to analyse cells and other particles in a laboratory setting. The system contains a sample flow cell, an electronic unit which sorts and collects data, a computer interfacing unit, and necessary accessories. FACScan uses a flow cytometry technology that aids in the identification and classification of cells based off of size, shape, and intrinsic fluorescent properties. A sample is dropped into the flow cell and then infused with a sheath fluid flow which is regulated by a flow sensor. The sample is then scanned, and cells pass the laser one at a time in single file and are electronically counted. As they pass, light scatter and fluorescence readings are collected, and a fluidic injection machine provides discrimination between cell types. After the scanning process is complete, the data collected is both automatically and manually analysed. The FACS can also utilize specific techniques such as fluorescence triggering, which utilizes a pulse of laser light to trigger the detection of fluorescently-labelled particles, and fluorescent sorting, which sorts fluorescent particles based on their measured fluorescent intensity. Analysis of data collected with BECTON DICKINSON FACScan can be utilized to identify different types of cells within a sample, as well as important cell characteristics such as shape. This can be used to detect and monitor differences between normally and differently functioning cells. When used with appropriate software such as WinFACS and CXP, FACScan can be used to accurately analyse complex data sets and allow for rigorous statistical analysis to further improve the accuracy of your data. BECTON DICKINSON FACScan is a reliable tool for laboratory analysis and particle sorting, making it an indispensable tool for any cytometry or immunology lab. This asset can identify cells and particles, provide essential data analysis, and even sort particles, making it the ideal choice for any scientist looking to gather the most accurate and timely data from their sample.
