DESCRIPTION
Flow Cytometer
BD Accuri C6 flow cytometers, BD CFlow® Software and Workstation PC supply all the capabilities of a full-featured flow cytometer at an affordable price. The system includes blue and red lasers, four color detectors, and both forward and side scatter detectors plus software that is so intuitive that you will typically be up and running within an hour of receiving your BD Accuri system.

0Replies8 years ago | sheath fluid My BD Accuri C6 displays the message- refill sheath fluid- while the tank is almost full? Takes more than usual time to analyze samples? any hints? what is the problem? thanks Joel Reply |

FEATURES
- Decade dynamic range: The totally digital C6 Flow Cytometer has state-of-the-art electronics that make it possible to simultaneously collect 16 million channels of digital data.
- Optical bench needs no alignment: The C6 optical bench is compact and employs components that have evolved to be smaller, more robust, and less expensive.
- Fluidics control: The C6 uses a unique low-pressure pumping system to drives fluidics as opposed to more expensive pressurized systems.
- Maintenance made simple: The C6 automatically runs Decontamination fluids through the fluidics lines and then replaces it with sheath upon instrument shutdown.
- Works with current protocols and reagents: Accuri developed the C6 to use the same reagents you currently use on the market-leading cytometers.
- FCS 3.0 compatible file format
- Compact size
- Low power usage: The C6 Flow Cytometer operates on a low power, universal power supply (100-240V, 50-60Hz).
