The BD FACSymphony™ Family
Meet the members
The BD FACSymphony™ A1
The smallest but an extremely capable member of the family, the BD FACSymphony™ A1 is a solid, entry-level flow cytometry analyser. It is useful for most flow cytometry applications and offers a new capability in the form of an optional small particle analyser. The four available configurations of BD FACSymphony™ A1 were designed to provide premium performance while maintaining a small instrument footprint.
The BD FACSymphony™ A1 enables a whole range of capabilities – from 16 colour immunophenotyping to small particle analysis – right at your benchtop. It also uses the BD FACSDiva™ Software for a streamlined workflow from system setup to data acquisition and analysis.
The BD FACSymphony™ A3
The BD FACSymphony™ A3 analyzer is a high-parameter system (HPS) that allows the use of flow cytometry for deep scientific exploration. This next generation platform allows the simultaneous measurement of up to 30 parameters and 28 colours, and comes together with BD’s expertise and support in high-parameter panel design. It can also be highly customized to meet your research needs.
The BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE
The BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE allows for high-parameter spectral flow cytometry. It enables you to gain full visible spectrum coverage to collect all light emitted without the need for filter changes, increasing dye flexibility and number of simultaneous colors. It also allows for autofluorescence unmixing, that may enable the resolution of difficult cells and populations.
The BD FACSymphony™ A5
The BD FACSymphony™ A5 is BD’s ultimate high-parameter flow cytometry system, that allows the simultaneous measurement of up to 50 parameters. It leverages all the new developments in electronics, optics and laser technologies to enable you to identify and analyse rare cell types. The BD FACSymphony™ A5 is suitable for deep and broad phenotyping to provide impactful scientific insights. It also comes together with BD’s expertise and support in high-parameter panel design.
The BD FACSymphony™ S6
The BD FACSymphony™ S6 is a versatile sorter platform that gives scientists more control of their experiments. It allows the measurement of up to 60 parameters to define more phenotypically distinct subpopulations and recover populations so far available only for analysis.
The BD FACSymphony™ S6 features cutting-edge technology and innovative optics, all designed to keep you at the forefront of your research.
The BD FACSymphony™ S6 is also equipped with an optional bio-safety cabinet.
