Special Order Products

Evolving capabilities to meet changing requirements

Innovative laser options for special order analyzers include the choice of solid state lasers across the full spectrum ranging from ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths. To take advantage of evolving technologies or changing requirements, special order product customers can add new lasers as needs arise, expanding the level of flexibility and making a BD analyzer purchase a solid, long-term investment.

The special order BD LSRFortessa analyzer

The special order BD LSRFortessa™ cell analyzer has the capacity to support up to 5 lasers and has 30 positional choices for the selection of detectors. It can be designed to meet the multicolor analysis needs of complex experiments that may require a specific combination of unique lasers, detectors, and filters.

The lasers for the special order BD LSRFortessa analyzer may be chosen from more than 11 laser wavelengths and multiple power options for maximum flexibility.

The special order BD LSRFortessa analyzer can detect up to 18 colors simultaneously and can be upgraded later with additional or new lasers from BD as future requirements dictate. In addition to the reduced size, design enhancements allow for easier access to bandpass filters and mirrors, simplifying changes to experiment setup.

The special order BD LSR II

The special order BD™ LSR II analyzer has the capacity to support up to 7 lasers and has 56 positional choices for selection of the detectors. It can be designed to meet the multicolor analysis needs of high-end research entailing demanding assay requirements, for which complex experiments may require a specific combination of unique lasers, detectors, and filters.

The lasers for the special order BD LSR II analyzer may be chosen from more than 11 laser wavelengths and multiple power options for maximum flexibility of configuration. This broad flexibility enables the special order BD LSR II cell analyzer to be easily set up for multicolor experiments, maximizing resolution, and minimizing spectral spillover.

Laser and detector options are supported by a choice of filters that can be configured to almost any dye across the spectrum. This allows researchers to designate reagents based on maximal signal strength and minimal crosstalk, to increase resolution of dim populations by reducing spectral spillover and compensation challenges.

Forward scatter PMT option

The special order program offers a Forward Scatter (FSC) PMT Option that complements small particle scatter detection. This option lowers the threshold on size measurements, which is particularly valuable for microbiology applications.

An innovation process

A vigorous pursuit of the latest and best laser technologies ensures an unparalleled range of configuration choices offered by the BD special order program for BD LSR analyzers. New technologies are regularly incorporated into the product line as soon as they become available.

The ever-expanding list of available lasers demonstrates BD’s ongoing commitment to perpetual innovation. This is one of the many ways BD ensures that the BD LSR analyzer platform continues to support evolving needs.
