BD FACSCanto -Model II -Clinical Flow Cytometry System
Built on more than 45 years of BD experience and leadership in flow cytometry and multicolor analysis, the BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometry Systems deliver reliable performance, accuracy and ease-of-use for today`s busy clinical laboratories.
The BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer automates many features to help streamline the process and reduce hands-on time for operators
Keeps operations running efficiently
- Quality control and single-tube instrument setup help operators rapidly learn how to run routine clinical applications, improving the reliability and consistency of results
- BD FACSCanto"` Clinical Software automates setup, compensation analysis and quality control for predefined clinical applications
Innovations to improve care
The BD FACSCanto™ II System features a fixed-alignment flow cell in the fluidics system that minimizes startup time and improves reproducibility. To increase sensitivity and resolution for each color in a multicolor assay, a patented optical design maximizes signal detection.
The BD FACSCanto™ II System`s high sensitivity delivers accurate results
- Innovative designs for both excitation and collection optics to reduce excitation losses so that more information can be gained from each sample
- Fixed alignment of lasers from day-to-day and from experiment-to-experiment without user intervention
- Patented detector arrays to maximize signal retention
- Unique reflective design that guides light to their target detectors to improve sensitivity
The BD FACS™ Loader instrument option enables walkaway sample introduction to improve productivity
- Automatic loading of up to forty 12 x 75-mm tubes on the BD FACSCanto™ II System without operator intervention
- Compressed air to allow a more reliable tube load
- An intelligent tube guide mechanism that automatically sends an alert if a tube is not properly positioned for loading
Unique reflective design improves sensitivity
- BD patented octagon and trigon detector arrays use serial light reflections to guide signals to their target detectors, resulting in highly efficient light collection and providing maximum signal retention at the detector level
- The design enables collection of the dimmest emission signals first, moving from the longest wavelengths (typically PE-Cy7) to the shortest (FITC), further enhancing instrument sensitivity
Innovations in the fluidics system deliver optimal system performance
- The fixed flow cell design minimizes startup time and improves reproducibility
- Pressurized fluidics regulate pressure from an easy-to-access standalone fluidics cart
- Sheath flow rate does not vary with the level of fluid in the sheath Cubitainer™ because of regulated pressure
- The reservoir automatically removes small air bubbles from the sheath supply
BD FACSCanto™ Clinical Software on the BD FACSCanto™ II System enables automatic gating
BD FACSCanto™ clinical software automates setup, compensation analysis, and quality control for predefined clinical applications. It includes specific application modules optimized for use with specific IVD reagent kits. The modules feature automated gating, calculations, and report generation to deliver a consistent, reproducible, and standardized analysis.
Take advantage of the protocols available for various applications, such as lymphocyte and stem-cell enumeration, HLA immunophenotyping and more.
BD FACSCanto™ clinical software is an IVD-cleared product for enumerating lymphocyte subsets of samples stained with BD Multitest™ 4-Color and 6-Color reagents.
Activation Marker (BD Multitest™ CD8/CD38/CD3/Anti-HLA-DR) Software module for BD FACSCanto™ clinical software is available for supporting the acquisition and analysis of samples stained with Multitest CD8/CD38/CD3/Anti-HLA-DR on the BD FACSCanto™ II flow cytometers.
A BD® Stem Cell Enumeration Software module for BD FACSCanto™ clinical software offers a validated analysis software, designed to meet productivity and quality requirements of clinical laboratories for the BD® Stem Cell Enumeration Kit.
A BD® HLA-B27 Software module for the BD FACSCanto™ II system provides a complete system for rapid detection of HLA-B27 antigen, which is clinically relevant to the evaluation of seronegative spondyloarthropathies.
