BD FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer, 15 milliwatt, model FACSCalibur, is manufactured by BD. The BD FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer is an innovative platform used for both cell analysis and cell sorting in a single benchtop unit. The system is designed with a multicolor application support which allows accommodation of a wide range of laboratory and clinical applications. Engineered to improve laboratory productivity, the BD FACSCalibur system offers an easy-to-use software, multisample loading options, and intuitive instrument and fluidics control. The BD FACSCalibur system is fully modular, thus allowing easy upgrade to satisfy specific application needs. Other added functions of the BD FACSCalibur include optical coupling, background rejection, clear signal detection, and red-diode (635-nm) laser signal rejection, among others.
