The BD Influx™ cell sorter offers an open, configurable platform that can be fully optimized for researchers' unique application-specific requirements. This new level of choice and control is particularly important for life science research on the leading edge of biomedical discovery and is applicable to a range of applications including research in marine biology, cell therapy research, and drug discovery.
The value of the BD Influx platform is amplified by BD global customer support and sales teams and the Advanced Cytometry Group, a research and development team that will work with customers to tailor instruments to application and site requirements.
Designed for Maximum Flexibility
The BD Influx system is highly flexible. It can be configured to meet routine application-specific requirements or tailored to meet the changing needs of emerging applications.
Optimized for Specialized Applications
Over the past few years the system has been configured for a number of specialized applications.
One example is its use in marine biology. In this configuration, a module to determine the polarization of scatter or fluorescent signals is used to distinguish certain organisms that cannot be identified by traditional fluorescence measurements. A full spectrum analyzer, also applicable in marine biology applications, allows researchers to measure the difference in spectral properties of natural pigments. In addition, a high dynamic range forward scatter detector can be added to the configuration to allow accurate scatter measurements of small particles.
Quick-Exchange Fluidics
Single-use sort nozzle assemblies and quick-exchange, gamma-irradiated tubing allow researchers to replace fluidics to achieve aseptic conditions, and prevent possible cross-contamination between samples. A variety of nozzle sizes are available to accommodate a wide range of particle sizes. Research in cell therapy and cell cloning in industrial environments will benefit from these features.
Customized Hood
A customized hood, featuring HEPA filtering and UV lamp irradiation, can be adapted to enclose BD Influx configurations, for operator and product protection.
High-Speed Sorting and Single-Cell Deposition
The BD Influx system can sort at high speeds to support a variety of applications including quick enrichment of rare event populations.
In addition, the BD Influx built-in Computerized Cell Deposition Unit (CCDU) allows for automated single cell deposition for cloning or single-cell PCR. The unit is fast and configurable and can be adapted to user-defined collection devices.
Small Footprint
The BD Influx cell sorter has been kept small and can fit even in tight conditions. Built-in brackets fit ship-based research lab requirements.
