cytometry cell analyzer BD LSRFortessa X-20 that can be configured with up to five lasers to detect up to 20 parameters
BD Biosciences, a part of global medical technology company BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), has launched a high-performance research flow cytometry cell analyzer BD LSRFortessa X-20 that can be configured with up to five lasers to detect up to 20 parameters simultaneously.
According to the company, the BD LSRFortessa X-20 cell analyzer delivers high-performance multi color analysis with the most compact footprint in its class at 30”x29” and a height of 30”. Recognizing that space is a valuable commodity in today’s research environment, BD Biosciences designed the new cell analyzer to be compact without compromising the power needed
While popular laser choices include blue, red, violet, yellow-green and UV, a wide range of up to 34 available laser choices are available as excitation sources. Each excitation source is supported by new polygon detector arrays, and each polygon can support up to eight detectors for maximum flexibility in optical configuration, the company said in a statement.
The new cell analyzer enables customers to configure BD flow cytometers and cell sorters to fit precise research and assay needs. This program is tailored to meet the needs of researchers at the leading edge of biomedical discovery.
“The new BD LSRFortessa X-20 cell analyzer will enable researchers to conduct complex experiments with the additional parameters and increased sensitivity they need,” said Alberto Mas, president, BD Biosciences. “Uncovering dim staining and rare cell populations is extremely valuable to complex multi color assays, which are tools for advanced disease or drug development research.”
