BD SpectralFX™ Technology maximizes the number of colors that can be used in flow cytometry, allowing scientists to analyze up to 50 or more characteristics of a single cell at one time, with optimal resolution and sensitivity, which is ideal for scientists pursuing novel biomarker discovery. BD CellView™ Image Technology enables high-speed fluorescent and label-free imaging of single cells, revealing precise spatial and morphological insights – like the location of a virus or protein within a single cell, or the microscopic interaction between two cells – that can be visually confirmed and analyzed in real time. Combining these technologies, which were first introduced in the BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter and profiled on the cover of the journal Science, the BD FACSDiscover™ A8 Cell Analyzer enables scientists to capture more insights per experiment than ever, with exceptional depth, speed and sensitivity.

Additional advancements on the BD FACSDiscover™ A8 Cell Analyzer are specifically designed to power translational research. Highlights include:

• High-throughput, walkaway automation that enables best-in-class cost-per-insight economics
• New intuitive software workflows that allow for effective management of large datasets, for improved system usability
• Seamless pairing with the industry-leading ecosystem of BD FACSDiscover™ Cell Sorters and BD Reagents
