Becton Dickinson FACScan

Manufacturer Overview

The FACScan™ system is an automated flow cytometer. It analyzes cells as they pass through a focused laser beam one at a time in a moving fluid stream. A BD FACScan flow cytometer can be used for routine research applications, immunophenotyping, and DNA cell-cycle analysis. (Excerpt: BD FACscan System PDF)

Condition Description
This BD FACScan is in good cosmetic condition externally, but there is corrosion internally. Both wear and age suggest this system was used, but the frequency cannot be determined. The FACScan appears suitable for use and will require additional components to complete the system, prior to application.

Technical Evaluation

New Life Scientific technicians were unable to fully test this system, but supplied power to it without error. The customer will need to supply jugs, the PC and software, and consumables before this instrument can be used; these missing components could not be bypassed for testing purposes. This system is incomplete as-is and not ready for applicaiton. Please refer to the pictures or contact us for more information.
