Flow Cytometer for in Vitro Diagnostics

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 30 Sep 2004
A new flow cytometer, designed for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) use, can assist clinical laboratories to obtain quality data quickly and efficiently, with processing speeds of up to 10,000 events per second.

Called the FACSCanto system, the new benchtop analyzer supports the routine and complex tests performed in clinical laboratories as well as clinical research and life science applications. More...
The system offers high fluorescence sensitivity, minimal sample contamination, and facilitates rare-event analysis, an important feature for clinical diagnostic laboratories. FACSCanto was developed by Becton Dickinson and Company (BD, San Jose, CA, USA).

The system's fixed optical alignment means that users are not required to manually align lasers, and the fluidics cart holds all fluids necessary for routine operation and maintenance. The self-contained design facilitates automated cleaning, startup, and shutdown routines, allowing laboratorians to concentrate on analysis and reporting of data.

"We leveraged our 30-plus years of expertise in flow cytometry in the design of the BD FACSCanto system,” noted Bill Rhodes, vice president and general manager, BD Biosciences Immunocytometry Systems. "It incorporates many technology advances first developed in our BD LSR II expandable cell analyzer and our BD FACSAria cell sorter, and we are proud to deliver such an advanced, yet easy-to-use, system to the clinical diagnostics market.”
