Our Leadership in Clinical Cell Analysers
Our BD FACSCalibur™ Cell Analyser was the first automated multicolour flow cytometry system that could perform cell analysis in one benchtop system and was recognised as the gold standard in automated benchtop analysis and dual laser technology.
Our subsequent offerings continued to build on that reputation and expanded on the best-in-class clinical diagnostic services. By automating many features, our clinical cell analysers streamline processes and reduce hands-on time for operators. Our latest advanced clinical cell analyser, the BD FACSLyric™ System provides accurate, reliable and repeatable results.
Workflow automation, standardisation across instruments and sites, and connectivity are all critical for a successful clinical lab. Along with our clinical flow cytometry reagents and acquisition and analysis software and informatics tools, we provide a complete solution for your cell analysis needs. Our clinical cell analysers are backed by 40+ years of our expert training, service and support. We continue to innovate through partnership and collaboration with you.
