      Features

      The BD FACSymphony™ A1 Cell Analyzer enables sensitive resolution up to 16 fluorescent markers simultaneously

      The BD FACSymphony™ A1 Cell Analyzer

      • Applies premium BD FACSymphony™ instrument technology to reduce background noise and increase detection sensitivity
      • Features low-noise electronics, high-powered lasers and tight beam spot to support immunophenotyping up to 16 colors
      • Enables independent analysis of large and small particles on a single instrument. The optional small particle detector enables detection of small particles (SP SSC) such as extracellular vesicles, viral particle and more.
      • Is compatible with the broad portfolio of catalog and custom BD Horizon Brilliant™ Reagents and BD FACSDiva™ Software to streamline your flow cytometry workflow
      • Permits easy placement on a standard lab bench with its compact format

      The BD FACSymphony™ A1 Cell Analyzer enables detection of small particles as small as 90-nm polystyrene beads

      BD FACSymphony™ A1 Laser Technology
      zoom-icon

      The BD FACSymphony™ A1 Cell Analyzer provides an optional, dedicated detector designed to resolve scatter of small particles such as extracellular vesicles, viral particle, exosomes, etc.

      The system design features:

      • High-powered 100-mW blue (488 nm) laser to enhance excitation
      • Smaller beam size for focused optical path to increase resolution
      • Pinhole and bandpass filter to block and clean stray light
      • Dedicated high-sensitivity detector for scatter channel (SP SSC)
      • Independent detection of large (SSC) and small (SP SSC) particles in a single instrument, without change of instrument setup



      The BD® High Throughput Sampler (HTS) and BD FACSFlow™ Supply System (FFSS) options are available for increased efficiency

      The HTS option:

      • Automates and accelerates sample acquisition
      • Compatible with 96- and 384-well plates
      • Provides <0.5% sample carryover in high-throughput mode

      The FFSS option:

      • Increases capacity and ease of use while maintaining a stable fluidics pressure
      • Reduces daily maintenance by incorporating a 20-L BD FACSFlow™ Cubitainer

       

      The BD FACSymphony™ A1 Cell Analyzer and FlowJo™ v10 Software enable seamless data analysis

      Take your analysis to the next level with new features in FlowJo™ v10 Software including improved BD FACSDiva™ Software support, platform overlays, spectral compensation and more.
