Upgrade Now to Meet the Growing Demands of High-parameter Cytometry
Moving to spectral flow cytometry now lets you expand your research capabilities, simplify your workflow and maintenance, and lower your operating costs.
Keep up with high-parameter research
Spectral flow cytometry is expanding the questions researchers can ask, with 30+ color panels becoming common. Moving to spectral gives your lab the flexibility to design and execute the experiments that your science demands.
Simplify your workflow
The BD FACSDiscover™ Cell Analyzers deliver faster setup, automated clog detection and recovery, a robust loader, and excellent reliability overall. Intuitive software simplifies spectral flow cytometry experiments and reduces your day-to-day maintenance burden. As reagents, software, and data standards continue to align around spectral technology, moving now keeps your lab in step with your collaborators.
Reduce operating costs
Upgrading doesn't need to be expensive. Panel flexibility on the BD FACSDiscover™ Cell Analyzers reduces panel redesign cycles, minimizing reagent waste and lowering cost per experiment. Using DI water further reduces the ongoing consunable cost. Upgrade without a high upfront investment with our trade-in, leasing, and financing options.
Bring your panels with you
Upgrading to BD FACSDiscover™ Cell Analyzers doesn’t mean starting over. We have demonstrated that data quality remains intact when panels move from LSR Fortessa™ and other platforms to BD FACSDiscover™ Cell Analyzers, without the need for re-design. Our expert application specialists will support you, enabling your established assays to move across seamlessly.
