Description
The BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter is an integrated platform that combines high-speed cell sorting with full-spectrum spectral analysis. It is engineered for experiments requiring both deep phenotypic profiling and the physical isolation of specific cell populations. The system utilizes spectral technology to resolve fluorophores with highly similar emission spectra, significantly expanding the number of parameters that can be measured concurrently from a single sample. It is equipped with multiple excitation lasers, including 349 nm, 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, and 637 nm, and detects signals across 78 fluorescence channels and 8 scatter and imaging channels. This configuration allows researchers to design expansive, information-rich multicolor panels. The instrument can identify cells based on intricate marker combinations and then sort them at high speed with maintained purity and viability. It is designed for flexible applications spanning immunology, genomics, and single-cell research, bridging detailed analytical insight with functional downstream analysis.
