Our Leadership in Clinical Cell Analyzers
Our BD FACSCalibur™ Cell Analyzer was the first automated multicolor flow cytometry system that could perform cell analysis in one benchtop system and was recognized 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 analyzers streamline processes and reduce hands-on time for operators. Our latest advanced clinical cell analyzer, the BD FACSLyric™ System provides accurate, reliable and repeatable results.
Workflow automation, standardization 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 analyzers are backed by 40+ years of our expert training, service and support. We continue to innovate through partnership and collaboration with you.
BD Biosciences also offers a broad portfolio of Research Cell Sorters to rapidly sort subpopulations of cells for various research applications and Research Cell Analyzers with a wide range of capabilities for subsequent cell analysis in research labs.
