Overview
Choose from four instrument configurations. All configurations have blue (488-nm) and violet (405-nm) lasers, which can be paired with a red (640-nm), ultraviolet (355-nm) or yellow-green (561-nm) laser, depending on your application needs.

The BD FACSCelesta™ Cell Analyzer is optimized for use with BD Horizon Brilliant™ Dyes
More parameters mean more impact
- The optical and electronics system—lasers, filters, detectors, optical paths and signal processing technologies—have been engineered for use with BD Horizon Brilliant™ Dyes.
- A system of dichroic mirrors and bandpass filters, packed into a compact polygon, splits off light from each laser and directs it to the correct detectors
- The detectors (photomultiplier tubes or PMTs) themselves fit compactly behind the filter assemblies
Options to enhance and tailor your BD FACSCelesta™ Cell Analyzer toward your specific research needs
BD FACSFlow™ Supply System (FFSS) and BD® High Throughput Sampler (HTS) options available when you need
- The optional FFSS fluidics cart increases capacity and ease of use while maintaining a stable fluidics pressure and reduces daily maintenance by incorporating two 20-L containers (Cubitainers™)
- Fluidic sensors maintain constant pressure, and a fluidics monitoring system warns when sheath fluid is low or empty or when the waste container is full
- A digital control panel makes it easy to monitor the operational status of the cytometer and make adjustments
- The HTS option provides rapid, fully automated sample acquisition from microtiter plates and supports a wide range of research applications and is compatible with 96-well U, V and flat-bottom plates as well as 384-well microtiter plates
- In high-throughput mode, the HTS can process a 96-well plate in less than 15 minutes with less than 1% carryover and standard throughput mode can be selected to acquire larger sample volumes or where longer acquisition times are required
APPLICATIONS
Rare cells, or cells that have few surface receptors of a marker of interest, can be difficult to detect using conventional reagents. Bright reagents are essential in resolving these dim cells from others in a sample.
BD Horizon Brilliant™ Dyes can endow previously dim cells with much brighter fluorescence signals than traditional organic fluorescent dyes or even phycobiliproteins such as PE or APC as demonstrated in the figures below.
Optimization for these bright dyes enables the BD FACSCelesta™ System to identify cell populations with a broader range of receptor density.
Using a broad landscape of cell function assays, flow cytometry can shed light on a variety of sample types, such as whole blood, cell lines and yeast.
- Detect and analyze light scatter to measure physical characteristics of cells in suspension, such as cell shape, size and internal complexity.
- Add fluorescent markers to interrogate expressed or secreted proteins that reveal cell phenotype, function and status.
