August 12, 2021 – BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (Franklin, TN) announced the launch of a new benchtop cell analyzer that brings sophisticated flow cytometry capabilities to laboratories of all sizes.
The new BD FACSymphony A1 Cell Analyzer is a fluorescence-activated cell analyzer that offers advanced research capabilities in a compact design.
This new BD cell analyzer offers researchers and scientists, regardless of their experience and level of expertise, access to technology to conduct a variety of flow cytometry experiments, helping them save time by using lab resources more efficiently and expand research capabilities in their own laboratories, the company says.
This BD FACSymphony A1 Cell Analyzer features BD FACSymphony instrument technology with the flexibility to meet a broad spectrum of research needs from small particle research to 16-color immunophenotyping, along with industry-standard BD FACSDiva Software for streamlined workflows from system setup to data acquisition and analysis.
The BD FACSymphony A1 Cell Analyzer joins the extended family of BD FACSymphony Cell Analyzers and Sorters.
According to the company, the system’s compact size makes it ideal for individual laboratories with limited space.
Researchers can perform independent detection of both large and small particles, such as extracellular vesicles on a single instrument using the optional BD Small Particle Detector. It also enables larger laboratories to perform exploratory experiments without tying up free-standing cell analyzers needed for more complex, longer lead-time experiments.
