The BD Accuri C6 Plus Flow Cytometer, with its compact 11 x 14.75 x 16.5-inch footprint, light weight of 30 lb and operational simplicity, supports a wide variety of applications including immunology, cell and cancer biology, plant and microbiology and industrial applications. This portable and compact cell analyzer holds the analytical power of a cytometer twice its size. Used in thousands of research studies, the BD Accuri C6 Plus System provides an easy-to-use option to your research toolbox.
Advanced Capabilities Expand Detection and Flexibility
Take advantage of advanced bright dyes The BD Accuri C6 Plus is designed for compatibility with advanced polymer dyes such as BD Horizon Brilliant Blue 515 (BB515), which can help you detect low-density antigens and rare populations. Developed from patented technology and based on Nobel Prize-winning chemistry, BB515 is significantly brighter than FITC.
Like FITC, it emits into the FL1 channel of the BD Accuri C6 Plus using the standard 533/30 filter, but has less spillover into the FL2 channel. For reagents, bright is often better, because bright fluorochromes enable researchers to identify cell populations that express low-density antigens emitting dim signals.
Optics
- Equipped with a blue and red laser, two light scatter detectors and four fluorescence detectors with optical filters optimized for the detection of many popular fluorochromes, including FITC, PE, PerCP-Cy5.5 and APC
- Easy to use with no need to adjust detector voltage
- Data are digitally collected over a wide dynamic range and are fully available to you as needed, eliminating the risk of data loss due to incorrect settings
- Software functions such as Zoom and VirtualGain allow visualization of data at any scale, so you can precisely set gates and regions
- Extraordinary fluorescence sensitivity with optical and fluidic design provide the ability to withstand rugged conditions. Provided the system is anchored, it can run samples even if the benchtop is in motion, such as aboard a ship.
