Features

The BD FACSCanto™ and BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometers automate many features to help streamline the process and reduce hands-on time for operators

Keeps operations running efficiently

Quality control and single-tube instrument setup help operators rapidly learn how to run routine clinical applications, improving the reliability and consistency of results
BD FACSCanto™ Clinical Software automates setup, compensation analysis and quality control for predefined clinical applications

Innovations to improve care
The BD FACSCanto™ and BD FACSCanto™ II Systems feature a fixed-alignment flow cell in the fluidics system that minimizes startup time and improves reproducibility. To increase sensitivity and resolution for each color in a multicolor assay, a patented optical design maximizes signal detection.

The BD FACSCanto™ and BD FACSCanto™ II Systems' high sensitivity delivers accurate results

Innovative designs for both excitation and collection optics to reduce excitation losses so that more information can be gained from each sample
Fixed alignment of lasers from day-to-day and from experiment-to-experiment without user intervention
Patented detector arrays to maximize signal retention
Unique reflective design that guides light to their target detectors to improve sensitivity

APPLICATIONS

BD FACSCanto™ Clinical Software on the BD FACSCanto™ and BD FACSCanto™ II Systems enables automatic gating

Example of result dot plots for a fresh cord blood specimen following acquisition and analysis with the BD^® Stem Cell Enumeration module in BD FACSCanto™ Clinical Software.

Take advantage of the protocols available for various applications, such as lymphocyte and stem-cell enumeration, HLA immunophenotyping and more.

BD FACSCanto™ Clinical software is an IVD product for enumerating lymphocyte subsets of samples stained with BD Multitest™ 4-Color and 6-Color reagents.

A BD^® Stem Cell Enumeration module for BD FACSCanto™ Clinical Software offers a validated analysis software, designed to meet productivity and quality requirements of clinical laboratories for the BD^® Stem Cell Enumeration Kit.

A BD^®HLA-B27 Application module for the BD FACSCanto™ II System provides a complete system for rapid detection of HLA-B27. The presence of HLA-B27 antigen is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease of the axial musculoskeletal system, and a few other rheumatic disorders (Reiter’s syndrome, acute anterior uveitis, and inflammatory bowel disease).
