BD FACSCanto II flow cytometer
Features
A Complete System for the Clinical Lab
Designed to address the needs of today’s busy clinical lab, the BD FACSCanto™ II system has a proven track record of reducing hands-on time and improving reliability of results. A high degree of automation and quality control helps save time, reduce cost, and improve reproducibility of results.
Cytometer settings are tracked over time by Levey-Jennings graphs to monitor cytometer performance. Adjustments are made automatically to ensure consistent data integrity and reproducible results from day to day and experiment to experiment. Integrated quality control features further support data integrity by notifying operators if an assay fails predefined standards.
BD FACSCanto clinical software includes specific application modules optimized for use with specific IVD reagent kits. The modules feature automated gating, calculations, and report generation to deliver a consistent, reproducible, and standardized analysis.
As a leading provider of tools for flow cytometry, BD Biosciences is committed to offering comprehensive, innovative software solutions, including third-party solutions that support application-specific customer requirements.
For example, optional Laboratory Information System (LIS) software easily connects the BD FACSCanto II with an existing customer Laboratory Information System to enable direct, bi-directional transfer of data. The software simplifies laboratory workflow by customizing data reporting, securing validation, and transferring data to reduce manual transcription. The solution automates the process from request to reporting to help reduce errors and improve data quality and laboratory productivity.
Monitoring HIV—identification and enumeration of lymphocyte subsets.
The BD Multitest™ 6-color TBNK kit is the first and only 6-color in vitro diagnostic application to provide a complete immune panel in a single tube, saving valuable time and resources for sample processing.
Detection of HLA-B27 antigen
The BD™ HLA-B27 system works with the BD FACSCanto II system to provide a complete solution for rapid detection of HLA-B27 antigen, which is clinically relevant to the evaluation of seronegative spondyloarthropathies.
