BD FACSLyric IVD Flow Cytometer with 3 Lasers, 12-Color, 14-Detector Configuration and 30-Tube Universal Loader

The BD FACSLyric IVD Flow Cytometer is a high-performance clinical and research instrument optimized for multi-parameter flow cytometry applications essential in molecular diagnostics, immunophenotyping, and biotechnology research. Equipped with an advanced 3-laser (488 nm blue, 640 nm red, 405 nm violet) setup, it simultaneously detects 12 fluorescent colors across 14 detector channels, enabling detailed cellular analysis with high sensitivity for dim fluorochromes (FITC <85 MESF, PE <20 MESF).

Key technical features include:

• Laser configuration: 3 lasers allocating channels as Blue/4, Red/3, Violet/5
• Fluorescence detection: Photodiode for forward scatter (FSC) and PMT for side scatter (SSC) to accurately resolve cell size and granularity
• Sample throughput: Acquisition rate up to 35,000 events per second with beads, supporting high-throughput workflows critical in bioprocessing and biomanufacturing pipelines
• Sample handling flexibility: Integrated Universal Loader accommodates 30-tube racks (12 × 75 mm tubes) and 96- or 384-well plates, facilitating manual or automated high-content assays
• Flow rates: Multiple flow rate settings (12 to 120 µL/min) including a high-sensitivity mode at 50 µL/min, balancing sensitivity and throughput for delicate or rare cell populations
• Optical system precision: Beam spot size of 9 µm × 63 µm ensures precise laser excitation and fluorescence capture, vital for reproducible multi-color flow cytometry assays
• System validation: Comprehensive QC performed including laser power stability, fluidic system decontamination, detector calibration, and automated alignment ensures robust, reliable data output

This instrument supports critical applications in clinical immunology, hematology, oncology panels, immune monitoring, and synthetic biology research. It is widely adopted for workflows requiring detailed multi-color fluorescence analysis and is essential for laboratories involved in gene editing studies, live-cell phenotyping, and biomedical engineering projects.

Included software, FACSSuite Clinical & RUO, provides advanced data acquisition and analysis tools, enhancing functionality for molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production quality control. The system is compact (63.2 × 57.9 × 57.9 cm), weighing 56 kg for the cytometer and 13.2 kg for the loader, suitable for benchtop installation in clinical or research labs.

The BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometer is especially suited for biotechnology professionals seeking a reliable, scalable platform for complex multi-parameter cytometric assays with guaranteed performance backed by full warranty and expert technical support. Its universal loader and exceptional sensitivity make it a preferred choice in molecular diagnostics laboratories and bioprocess development environments.
