BD FACSMelody™ Cell Sorter

• The system is typically ready in less than 17 minutes, maximizing uptime
• Fluidic startup automatically de-bubbles the stream
• Instrument settings, gates and sort settings are available and retrievable from saved experiments
• Compensation is conveniently computed automatically from the results of compensation controls

• A streamlined workflow eliminates manual setup of the stream and monitoring of the sort, minimizing hands-on time and providing walk-away sorting capability.
• Fixed alignment removes the lengthy procedure with alignment beads required at startup.
• Instrument QC continuously monitors the system to track performance and predict problems such as laser failures before they occur. QC is not required each time the sorting nozzle is installed.
• The sorter design facilitates fast troubleshooting, such as easy and quick replacement of the sorting nozzle, without a need to re-align the laser and stream or run QC beads.
• The fixed flow cell and reusable nozzle eliminate the need to purchase daily consumables. This affordable solution allows in-house cell sorting, which can save money compared to outsourcing.

• The patented gel-coupled cuvette with fixed alignment ensures that lasers are precisely focused on the sample stream to generate optimal signal for clear resolution of dim cells and adjacent populations
• Spatially separated laser beams ensure minimal optical background noise and improved sensitivity from each laser to resolve dim populations
  

Optimized system of reagents, software and hardware

• Instrument configurations are optimized for bright BD Horizon Brilliant™ and BD OptiBuild™ Reagents.
• Sweet Spot technology maintains sort stream stability so yield and purity are maintained.
