Description
BD Biosciences LSRFortessa X-20 Benchtop Flow Cytometer System
This system is in great condition. Currently in use at working lab. All functions operational. Components have manufacture date of Oct 2019. Will come with all shown, including operational software.
The BD LSRFortessa X-20 is a compact, benchtop flow cytometer designed for high-throughput multicolor analysis, supporting up to 5 lasers (blue, red, violet, yellow-green, UV) and 20 simultaneous parameters. Key features include 40,000 events/sec maximum acquisition rate, optimized optics for detecting dim and rare cell populations.
- Lasers: Up to 5 lasers, usually blue (488nm), red (640-650nm), violet (405nm), yellow green (561nm), and UV (355nm).
- Parameters: Can detect up to 20 parameters simultaneously.
- Optical Detector Array: Polygon array designed for maximum signal collection and low crosstalk.
- Detection System: Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) and a photodiode detector for forward scatter.
- Data Acquisition Rate: Up to 40,000 events per second (with beads).
- Sample Formats: Supports 1.5/2.0/5.0-mL tubes; optional High Throughput Sampler (HTS) for 96- or 384-well plates.
- Dimensions: 30 x 29 x 30 in
BD FACSFlow 348871
- System Components: Includes the supply system unit, a 4-liter sheath plenum (stored in an enclosure), probe sets, and tubing with color-coded connectors.
- Container Capacity: Designed to house 20-L sheath fluid cubitainers and a 10-L waste container (an empty sheath cubitainer can also be used for waste).
- Dimensions: Approximately 22.4 in. (57 cm) Height x 24.4 in. (62 cm) Width x 28.7 in. (73 cm) Depth.
- Weight: 22 kg (48.4 lb.) (excluding the weight of full containers).
- Function: Provides pressurized sheath fluid to the cytometer and acts as a waste fluid control system
- The system is designed for use with: BD FACSCanto II and BD LSRFortessa
BD High Throughput Sampler (HTS)
-
- Acquisition Speed (96-well): <15 min (HT mode, 2-s sample) or <44 min (Std mode, 10-s sample).
- Carryover: <0.5% (HT mode), <0.75% (Std mode).
- Sample Volume: 2 – 10 µL (HT mode), 2–200 µL (Std mode).
- Compatibility: 96-well (U, V, flat-bottom) and 384-well (flat-bottom) plates.
- Dimensions: Approximately 9.5 x 17.5 x 8 in.
- Weight:23 lbs.
- Mixing: Adjustable mixing before acquisition.
- Automated Sample Management: Integrates with BD FACSDiva software for automated workflows.
- Reduced Carryover: Uses two high-precision pumps for rapid mixing, injection, and probe washing.
- Flexibility: Allows quick switching between plate and tube sampling.
