 BD FACSMelody™ Configuration 

  • Droplet sorting at 34 000 events per second

  • Delivers a high degree of purity and yield

  • Multi sample collection tubes (6-, 24-, 48-, 96- and 384-well plates, 96-well PCR tray, microscope slide)

  • Software: BD FACSChorus™ software

  • Automated set up, optimization and monitoring of the droplet breakoff and sort streams​

  • Automated drop delay measurement using BD BD FACS™ Accudrop beads​

  • Apart from using the BDFACSMelody as a cell sorter, it can also be used as a conventional flow cytometer.


Applications

The BD FACSMelody™ can be used for sorting from any type of heterogenous suspension (human cells to microorganism) for downstream culturing or detailed molecular, genetic and protein analyses.
