New BD cell analyser includes spectral analysis capabilities

Becton, Dickinson and Company (BD) has announced the launch of a spectralenabled cell analyser, expanding current cell analyser capabilities to at least 34 parameters with live spectral unmixing, enabling researchers to precisely analyse selected single cells from complex samples. The new BD FACSymphony A5 SE Cell Analyser is a fluorescence-activated, spectral-enabled cell analyser that offers researchers the ability to choose between spectral or compensation-based cell analysis to meet different flow cytometry needs. It is an important addition to the extended family of BD FACSymphony Cell Analysers and Sorters, including the recently announced BD FACSymphony A1 Cell Analyser, which offers premium performance in a benchtop format. For existing users of the BD FACSymphony A5 Cell Analyser, software and hardware upgrades are available to enable spectral analysis.
