The BD FACSMelody™ Cell Sorter is a benchtop flow cytometer designed to bring precision and consistency to cell sorting across a variety of research applications. It supports multicolor analysis and sorting, using up to three lasers and detecting up to nine fluorescent parameters plus scatter. The system integrates fluidics, optics, and electronics into a compact structure that fits easily into standard laboratory spaces, reducing the footprint typically required for such instrumentation.
This model uses a gel-coupled cuvette flow cell and fixed optical alignment to ensure stability and reproducibility of results. Its cuvette-based system delivers high sensitivity and reduces background noise, which is especially important when working with samples that contain low-abundance populations. Fluorescent markers are detected with high clarity, supporting confident discrimination between closely related subsets.
The BD FACSMelody™ is engineered for simplicity in setup and operation. Pre-set protocols and guided workflows reduce time and variability, making it suitable for labs that require reliable performance without the need for extensive technical training. It accommodates a wide range of sample input and collection formats, including tubes and multi-well plates, enhancing its utility for applications in immunology, stem cell research, cancer biology, and microbiology.
