BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter

Jun 03, 2022

Becton Dickinson has launched the BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter. Featuring the company's CellView image technology, it is the first cell sorter to combine advanced spectral flow cytometry with sort-capable image analysis, potentially enabling researchers to gather more accurate data and sort cells that could previously not be identified, the company claimed. The CellView technology captures images of individual cells flowing through the system and sorts them based on detailed microscopic image analysis of each one at high sort speeds. BD is introducing the new platform at the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry CYTO 2022 conference, held June 3-7.
