Becton Dickinson - FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer
Copied to clipboard!
Price: £ 1,200
This listing is for the Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer.
It is being sold as the unit on its own without cables or software, it needs its laser replaced, otherwise it is in full working condition.
The Becton Dickinson FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer offers a
unique approach to flow cytometry, allowing users to perform both cell analysis
and cell sorting in a single system, providing flexibility for a variety of
research and clinical applications. The BD FACSCalibur is a fully integrated
multiparameter system that has the performance and sensitivity to ensure
objective and reproducible results through the use of dual-laser technology,
interbeam compensation, and an alignment-free optical design. Efficient
collection optics, coupled to the flow cell with an optical gel, permit the use
of a low-powered, air-cooled argon laser and a red diode laser to ensure the
high sensitivity required for analysis of low-density antigens.
