      PERFORMANCE

      A new diagnostic standard delivering outstanding performance and standardization within and between instruments

      The BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometry System is a high-performance, highly sensitive flow cytometer that demonstrates exceptional resolution and improved separation to make dim and rare cell populations easier to resolve.

      performance1

      Higher sensitivity makes dim and rare populations easier to resolve.

      performance1

      Improvement in stain index of 8–190% across all parameters ensures better separation and enables faster analysis and easier gating.

      performance1

      Assay portability simplifies and standardizes instrument setup within your lab and between labs. It also enables the sharing and exchange of data, ideas, and IVD and user-defined protocols within and between institutions.

      Highly reproducible results between instruments drive standardization.

      Between-instrument reproducibility of target MFI values on the BD FACSLyric

      Lyse/wash assay settings were imported across 15 instruments to show effects of standardization on beads. The CVs of the fluorescence intensity across all channels varies by less than 15.3%. (Figure 5) Daily QA with one lot of BD CS&T beads was run on fifteen BD FACSLyric cytometers. For each instrument, the PMTV gains were automatically adjusted to meet the target values. BD FC beads acquired on each BD FACSLyric instrument. The MFI of positive populations was measured for all parameters across all instruments. The %CV is shown.
       

      The data for this internal study was acquired using BD FC Beads across 15 instruments. Greater between-instrument variability could be observed when running biological samples, when using non-BD reagents or when comparing fewer instruments.

       

       

      APPLICATIONS

      A Powerful Solution for CD4 Counts and Other Immunological Assessment

      With the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer, clinical laboratories can obtain repeatable and reliable results for immunological assessment of patients having or suspected of having an immune deficiency such as HIV.

      The BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometry System delivers improved clinical performance and accuracy in diagnosis with increased process efficiency and standardization.

      • BD Multitest™ Reagents, formulated to be used with BD Trucount™ Tubes, provide absolute counting capability.

      • The BD FACSuite™ Clinical Application, with predefined templates for 4- and 6-color T, B and/or NK cell analysis, provides reproducible and consistent results. 

      • Each reagent includes a cocktail of multiple fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies, premixed at the appropriate titer to ensure quality staining.

      A streamlined methodology for immunological assessment of patients having or suspected of having an immune deficiency such as HIV using the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer.

      “The consistency and the regulatory compliance of FACSLyric [Flow Cytometer]’s output is what really drew us to the platform. It is currently unmatched by other flow cytometers in its ability to generate reliable, repeatable results across tests and instruments—even for the most complex assays we deal with day to day. We’ve found it particularly beneficial for multiparameter testing for CAR T cells and immunophenotyping in immuno-oncology for non-clinical and clinical analysis.”

      “The assay portability of BD FACSLyric is the key to efficient method transfer and high data reproducibility. It represents a clear advantage in a regulated environment, where conditions must be met to produce valid results of a guaranteed level of quality. Functional immune cell–based assays and cytokine quantification in preclinical and clinical drug development is a particularly important area where BD FACSLyric offers clear technical advantages.”
