Becton Dickinson BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter

Becton Dickinson has launched the BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter for flow cytometry.

The instrument features BD CellView Image Technology to allow researchers to see detailed microscopic images of individual cells and sort at high speeds based on visual characteristics to confirm insights in real time. It also features BD SpectralFX Technology so researchers can achieve full-spectrum cell sorting coupled with a modular optical architecture and system-aware algorithms, to perform high-parameter experiments within a simplified workflow. The combination of these technologies expands capabilities for researchers, introducing the potential to aid research and cell-based therapeutic development across fields such as drug discovery, immuno-oncology, and genomics, BD said.
