The BD FACSCanto system breaks new frontiers in flow cytometry by providing an efficient, easy-to-use yet powerful six-color benchtop analyzer. It incorporates many technology advances first developed in the BD™ LSR II expandable analyzer and the BD FACSAria™ cell sorter. It supports a broad range of research applications, being particularly suited for rare event analysis with its high speed, great sensitivity, and minimal sample-to-sample carryover.

The BD FACSCanto derives its name from the musical term “bel canto,” meaning operatic singing that focuses on ease and purity of tone with an agile and precise vocal technique. This new flow cytometer embodies this through its simple, yet novel optical design, and robust electronics that keep signals precisely separated at high acquisition rates.

The BD FACSCanto System: Over 30 years of innovations in flow cytometry from BD Biosciences

Optimal Workflow and Time Management

Automated compensation algorithms with optional off-line compensation, streamlined sample loading, and automated housekeeping routines

High Performance

Clean data, high sensitivity, and rapid processing rates

Flexible Experimental Design

Eight-parameter detection across a range of particle sizes

High Performance

• The BD FACSCanto system combines a patented optical design for enhanced signal retention on six fluorescent
  and two scatter parameters, digital electronics for processing up to 10,000 events per second, and a novel
  sample injection tube supporting carryover of less than 0.1%. Your total benefit consists of the best fluorescence sensitivity to resolve dim events, cleaner data due to minimal sample contamination, and rapid processing rates, preserving valuable time for science. BD FACSCanto performance overcomes obstacles in rare event analysis
  and in functional studies for low detection ranges.

Flexible Experiment Design

• The BD FACSCanto system supports a full range of applications. It has a capacity for eight-parameter detection while capturing particle sizes from 0.5 to 50 µm in diameter, enabeling projects with leucocytes, cell lines, platelets, multiplexed bead technologies and beyond. Multiparameter detection helps advanced cell subset analysis, multiparameter functional studies, soluble protein detection, and quantification studies for cellsurface antigens and soluble proteins. It also decreases the total sample volume necessary for a specific project as more parameters can be read per individual test.
