Explore BD’s clinical solutions

For 45 years BD Biosciences has been committed to staying at the cutting edge of technology, so that you can focus on the biology that informs critical decisions and advances human health.

Next Generation Instrumentation and Software

The BD clinical flow cytometry solution combines simplicity, speed and automation to ease workflow and improve productivity. The clinical system also features enhanced software that supports 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. Automation within and across instrument standardization enable collaboration across labs through assay portability. Simple and comprehensive reporting are key aspects of the clinical software, featuring lab specific reports, audit trail, electronic signatures, and LIMS connectivity. This next-generation clinical system provides the flexibility and automation to transform your lab.

Innovative Dye Technology

BD is committed to delivering quality reagents that allow you to define relevant populations, with up to 12-color analysis. Based on advanced Sirigen technology, our Brilliant Violet analyte specific reagents offer high sensitivity fluorescence compared to traditional fluorochromes and have been improved and expanded to enhance performance. Our clinical reagent solution also comprises contract manufacturing of multicolor panels to help you minimize the error(s) and time associated with manual cocktailing of reagents, increase reagent stability, and significantly enhance consistency and assay performance. This includes using up to five brilliant violet dyes offering the brilliance of a complete panel in a single tube. Room temperature-stable dried down antibody cocktails also allow greater flexibility and standardization.

Scientific Excellence and Support

With approximately 100 years of combined flow cytometry and clinical lab experience, our flow cytometry specialists and engineers are readily available to answer questions, teach functionality, demonstrate software features, and share best practices. Relying on outstanding training and experience from some of the nation’s top institutions, our field service engineers, application specialists, and customer service teams partner to support you. And when you need quick support for your BD flow cytometry system, BD offers secured remote system management software connecting the BD flow cytometer with technical support for rapid troubleshooting.
