At SauveBio, we pride ourselves on leveraging cutting-edge technology to push the boundaries of scientific research. One of the cornerstones of our advanced cell sorting capabilities is the BD FACSymphony S6 Cell Sorter. This state-of-the-art instrument is designed to empower researchers with unparalleled precision and flexibility. Let’s dive into the advanced features that make the BD FACSymphony S6 an indispensable tool for groundbreaking discoveries.
Unmatched Detection Capabilities
The BD FACSymphony S6 can be equipped with the ability to detect up to 50 parameters simultaneously [1]. This high-parameter detection is made possible by low noise electronics and PMT detectors, ensuring that even the most subtle nuances in marker expression are captured with exceptional sensitivity [1]. This feature allows researchers to define phenotypically distinct subpopulations and isolate populations that were previously only available for analysis.
Innovative Optics for Maximum Signal Collection
The BD FACSymphony S6 boasts optics designed to maximize signal collection. This includes BD’s patented technologies such as gel-coupled cuvettes and high-parameter cascade arrays [1]. These innovations ensure that researchers can explore the intricacies of cellular markers with unparalleled clarity and accuracy.
Six-Way Sorting for Enhanced Efficiency
One of the standout features of the BD FACSymphony S6 is its ability to sort up to six resolved populations simultaneously [1]. This capability not only saves valuable time but also accelerates the path to discovery by allowing researchers to sort subpopulations into plates or slides efficiently. The system’s index sorting feature further enhances downstream experimental observations by enabling the review of the cell-surface phenotype of every cell sorted [1].
BD FACS™ Accudrop Technology for High-Performance Sorting
The BD FACSymphony S6 is equipped with BD FACS™ Accudrop technology, which ensures high-performance sort results by maintaining an optimal breakoff and pausing the sort when necessary to protect the purity of the sorted sample [1]. This feature provides researchers with the confidence that their samples are sorted with the highest level of accuracy and integrity.
Customizable to Meet Your Research Needs
The BD FACSymphony S6 can be tailored to meet individual application needs through the BD Special Order Research Product (SORP) program. Researchers can choose from up to nine spatially separated lasers from over 25 wavelength options, allowing for a high degree of customization based on specific research requirements [1].
