Cytometer Components
The BD FACSAria II flow cytometer is a high-speed fixed-alignment benchtop
cell sorter. The cytometer can be operated at varied pressures and can acquire up
to 70,000 events per second. With its fixed-optics design and digital electronics,
the BD FACSAria II flow cytometer enables multicolor analysis of up to 13
fluorescent markers and two scatter parameters at a time.
The BD FACSAria II system consists of three major components: a fluidics cart, a
benchtop flow cytometer, and a workstation (see Figure 1-1 on page 18). Nearly
all cytometer functions are operated from within BD FACSDiva software.
For a description of the system components, see the following sections. For
technical information about how the cytometer works, see Chapter 2.
