April 10, 2024- BD announced the global commercial release of new cell sorters that will enable more researchers in a broader range of fields, including cell biology, cancer research and immunology, to reveal insights that were previously invisible in traditional flow cytometry experiments.
The new BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorters feature BD CellView™ Image Technology, profiled on the cover of the journal Science in 2022, and BD SpectralFX™ Technology — bringing to market breakthrough innovations in real-time imaging and spectral flow cytometry. The three- and four-laser additions to the BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter family complement the five-laser instrument launched last year and provide scientists greater access, options, and flexibility to incorporate real-time imaging and spectral cell sorting technology in their labs.
Using the FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorters, researchers can confirm complex biological and spatial insights in real time, obtain individual cell images and isolate desired cells based on visual characteristics at high speeds, all within a simplified and easy to use workflow.
