BD FACSymphony™ A5 Cell Analyzer

The instrument features an ultra-quiet VPX electronics system that supports up to 50 high-performance detectors.

The capabilities of this platform technology uniquely allow you to conduct deep and broad phenotyping and gain richer scientific insights by fully leveraging the broad portfolio of catalog and custom BD Horizon Brilliant™ Reagents.

For most lasers, multiple power ratings that can be adjusted, stored and recalled using the digital laser command and control functionality are available.

Dependent on the laser, power settings from 20–1,000 mW may be available.

Fluorochrome availability and excitation characteristics across various wavelengths should be discussed during the configuration process to identify the best optical options for your research.

Optical arrays offer more flexibility than ever

Choose from:

• Classic tube photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in decagon arrays with up to 10 detectors
  
• Small square form PMT and GaAs/GaAsP* detectors in high-parameter cascade (HPC) arrays
  • Detectors optimized for increased sensitivity and lower noise in ranges of the spectrum
  • Up to 20 detectors per laser
  • Discrete pre-amplifiers

Filter sets are exchangeable for traditional fluorescent markers as well as specialized sets for unique dyes or proteins.

* Gallium arsenide phosphide

The HTS option:

• Automates and accelerates sample acquisition
  
• Compatible with 96- and 384-well plates
  
• <0.5% sample carryover in high-throughput mode

The FFSS option:

• Increases capacity and ease of use while maintaining a stable fluidics pressure
  
• Reduces daily maintenance by incorporating a 20-L BD FACSFlow™ Cubitainer
