Equipment Description

FACSCalibur Flow Cytometer

Short intro: The FACSCalibur flow cytometer is a proven benchtop platform for routine immunophenotyping and research assays. With stable optics, straightforward workflows, and widely used analysis software, it helps labs deliver consistent, audit-ready results day after day.

Why choose the FACSCalibur flow cytometer

The FACSCalibur flow cytometer is trusted worldwide for reliable 4-color detection and easy daily operation. Its integrated fluidics and opto-mechanical alignment are engineered for stability, reducing the need for frequent adjustments. A clear acquisition interface guides users from PMT setup to compensation and gating, so new operators become productive quickly. Typical configurations include a 488 nm blue laser and a red diode laser (≈635 nm) enabling popular panels such as FITC/PE/PerCP/APC for lymphocyte subsets, leukemia/lymphoma workups, and general research. Optional autoloaders and verified beads streamline QC and multi-tube runs, helping busy labs maintain throughput without compromising data quality.

Key features & workflow

• 4-color detection (typical): Robust optics for routine immunophenotyping with stable signal-to-noise and repeatable compensation.

• User-friendly software: Acquisition and analysis with familiar gating tools, templates, and report exports (model/software dependent, e.g., CellQuest Pro).

• Quality & compliance: Daily setup beads, performance tracking, and standardized protocols support reproducibility and accreditation needs.

• Service-ready design: Accessible fluidics, standard sheath/waste containers, and clear PM steps to minimize downtime.

• Data management: Flexible export formats for LIS/LIMS integration and collaborative review.

Applications

• Clinical & translational: Lymphocyte subset analysis, basic leukemia/lymphoma screening panels, immune monitoring.

• Research & education: Phenotyping, apoptosis and cell-cycle assays, bead-based quantitation, training labs.

• Core facilities: Reliable secondary analyzer for routine panels and overflow workloads.

What’s included

Typical supply comprises the benchtop analyzer, workstation with acquisition/analysis software (license per unit), sheath/waste containers, power cords, and a starter kit of consumables. Optional modules—autoloaders, verified QC beads, and panel-specific templates—can be added to match your SOPs. Every unit can be professionally inspected, cleaned, and function-tested prior to delivery.

Installation & support

We can assist with delivery, site setup, and user familiarisation. Preventive maintenance plans, replacement parts/consumables, and application support are available to keep your FACSCalibur flow cytometer running smoothly and your data pipelines consistent.
