Description:
The BD Accuri C6 is a personal flow cytometer that brings cell analysis within reach by being easy to use, simple to maintain, and affordable. Users can begin collecting and analysing data with the help of a quick start guide. The intuitive interface of the software guides the user through workflows. A wide dynamic range of over 7 full decades ensures that all data are available all of the time. Information obtained can be re-analysed at any time if gating or compensation changes are required, or to accommodate new research. It supports a wide array of applications including immunology, cell and cancer biology, plant and microbiology, and industrial applications.
