"The BD FACSDiscover^™ A8 Cell Analyzer has become our new standard, changing how our flow cytometry core operates," said Gert Van Isterdael, head of VIB Flow Core Ghent. "Once you experience the integration of spectral and imaging data, you don’t want to go back. It opens a new dimension for our work, helping us see more, understand faster, and enable discoveries that simply weren’t possible before. The BD FACSDiscover^™ A8 Cell Analyzer is a game changer, and having more configurations will only make this leading technology more accessible to a wider range of labs.”

All configurations of the BD FACSDiscover^™ A8 Cell Analyzer feature high-throughput, walkaway automation that enables best-in-class cost-per-insight economics through real-time imaging. The intuitive software makes it easy to manage large datasets, and is designed for out-of-the-box standardization. The analyzers also pair seamlessly with the ecosystem of BD FACSDiscover^™ Cell Sorters and BD Reagents. This includes the recently launched BD Horizon RealViolet^™ 828 and RealBlue^™ 824 fluorochromes, pioneering entries into the near-infrared spectrum that, when used with a cell analyzer, can unlock new discoveries through spectral flow cytometry.

"In today’s complex research landscape, access to leading-edge technologies through flexibility and modularity is crucial, from basic to translational science,” said Steve Conly, worldwide president of BD Biosciences. “Alongside the entire BD ecosystem of sorters, reagents, and informatics, the BD FACSDiscover^™ A8 Cell Analyzer continues to be rapidly adopted by leading biopharmaceutical companies, and now with more entry points, organizations of all sizes can access the same technology.”
