BD FACSymphony™ A3 Cell Analyzer

The BD FACSymphony™ A3 Cell Analyzer improves sensitivity to enable you to identify and analyze rare cell types and events.

The instrument features an ultra-quiet VPX electronics system that supports up to 30 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.

As a Special Order Research Product (SORP), the BD FACSymphony™ A3 Cell Analyzer offers a choice of lasers from 26 different laser wavelengths to optimally configure your instrument for your specific research application. 

For most lasers, multiple power ratings 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.

The BD FACSymphony™ A3 Cell Analyzer allows you to configure up to 5 lasers and provides the flexibility to implement new lasers and detectors later with field upgrades

Lasers

• Select up to five lasers for optimization of your research needs 
• Configure your instrument using traditional or unique wavelengths and power ratings

Optical arrays

• Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in decagon arrays with up to 10 detectors per laser line
• Filter sets exchangeable for traditional fluorescent markers as well as specialized sets for unique dyes or proteins

The BD^® High Throughput Sampler (HTS) and BD FACSFlow™ Supply System (FFSS) options are available for increased efficiency

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
