Compatibility with other BD analyzers and sorters makes it easier to move from analysis to cell sorting.
The BD FACSAria II cell sorter places instrument setup, QC, sorting, and data management under the control of BD FACSDiva software so researchers can spend more time on experiments.
Digital electronics
The BD FACSAria II cell sorter uses digital electronics to acquire data at rates up to 70,000 events per second for up to 8 parameters, with linear results over a broad dynamic range.
Cytometer Setup and Tracking software
Enhancements to BD FACSDiva software include a new Cytometer Setup and Tracking (CS&T) feature that automates flow cytometer setup, adjusts for instrument variability, and establishes baseline settings. Chances of operator error are reduced, and results are more consistent.
The setup features let users define a configuration baseline and run a performance check. The software will then automatically set up the cytometer to this established baseline. To match the exact baseline, the CS&T software automatically adjusts for reproducible performance of the instrument. This ensures the greatest
possible consistency from one day to the next, saves time, and improves reliability of experiment results. The software also allows for the creation of application-specific settings to allow for rapid performance of routine experiments in a more consistent manner.
Tracking capabilities in the software measure a number of instrument settings and report on performance. Levey-Jennings plots help users understand instrument performance and identify maintenance issues.
