BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter

Product catalog summary
Overview: The BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter with BD CellView™ Image Technology is a pioneering spectral flow cytometer sorter that integrates real-time image analysis. It enhances cell analysis and sorting by combining spectral flow cytometry with spatial and morphological insights, enabling scientists to explore previously unanswerable questions.
Specifications: The system supports high-dimensional analysis with up to five lasers, six image detectors, 78 fluorescent detectors, and FSC and SSC detectors. It features patented BD sorting technology with a fixed-alignment gel-coupled cuvette, eliminating daily alignment needs and allowing quick nozzle changes.
Capabilities: The sorter provides real-time visual confirmation of cell populations and characteristics during analysis and sorting. It offers flexible sorting options, including 6-way 5-mL sort, index sorting, and formats like 96-well and 384-well plates and slides. The system combines image features with flow parameters for subset classification and sorting.
Advanced Features: The BD spectral flow cytometry system maximizes fluorochrome detection per laser, offering in-depth single-cell insights. It includes 78 fluorescent detectors across five lasers with optimized filter bandwidths. The user interface guides users through spectral cytometry, with features like auto-alerts for detector saturation.
BD CellView™ Image Technology: This technology enhances cell cycle analysis by providing DNA distribution insights to differentiate cell cycle phases. It supports label-free sorting, minimizing sample preparation and enabling accurate cell characterization without fluorescent labeling. It also allows for the identification of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and cancer cells based on size.
Applications: The system combines flow cytometry data with spatial and morphological insights for accurate gating and screening of unwanted events. It reveals the spatial context of fluorescent signals and tracks subcellular protein movement. Image feature analysis identifies cell-cell interactions and receptor accumulation at cell synapses.
Regulatory and Availability: The BD FACSDiscover™ Cell Sorter is for research use only and not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. It is not yet CE marked for the European Union. BD Horizon RealBlue™ Reagents will be available in Fall 2022.
Configurations: The sorter is available in configurations with 3 to 5 spectral lasers and up to 86 total detectors, including ultraviolet, violet, blue, yellow-green, and red lasers.
