BD FACSMelody™ - Your friendly cell sorter

One Cell makes the difference

— Next generation cell analysis and isolation

Cell sorting is fast becoming an essential step on the path of deeper understanding and new discoveries of life sciences. With its high sensitivity and resolution, the BD FACSMelody™ sorter can identify and isolate target cells for up to nine colors. This extended multicolor capability allows for dim or rare subpopulations to be identified, for collecting rare cells.

Are you wishing for new insights into cell heterogeneity that phenotyping can’t reveal?
What if you could combine flow cytometry and Multi-Omics in a smooth workflow to gain an unprecedented view into single cells?

The combination of the BD FACSMelody™ cell sorter and the BD Rhapsody™ single-cell analysis system enables you to achieve just these. The BD FACSMelody™ cell sorter makes high-end cell sorting on your lab bench easy. The sorted cells can then be loaded onto the cartridge of the BD Rhapsody™ single-cell analysis system for mRNA extraction using the bead system for cDNA synthesis and library preparation.
