August 2022—BD has unveiled its BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter with BD CellView Image Technology, which captures images of individual cells flowing through the system and sorts them based on detailed microscopic image analysis of each one at high sort speeds. It combines advanced spectral flow cytometry with sort-capable image analysis that will potentially enable researchers to yield more accurate data and sort cells that previously could not be identified.
Cell sorting through spectral flow cytometry is a technique that captures the full spectrum signal emitted by sample preparations. This enables users to gain more accurate insights on cell populations and characteristics that can be visually confirmed in real time, according to a BD press release, and interrogate and sort cells that could not be identified before.
