Product description

Benchtop flow cytometer with dual lasers (488 nm argon, 635 nm diode), enabling 6-parameter multiparametric analysis.

The BD FACSCalibur™ is a benchtop flow cytometer renowned for its reliability and versatility in both clinical and research laboratories. Equipped with dual-laser technology—an air-cooled argon laser at 488 nm and a red diode laser at 635 nm—this instrument enables multiparametric analysis, facilitating the simultaneous detection of multiple fluorochromes.

Key features include:

  • Multiparametric analysis: Capable of detecting up to six parameters, including four fluorescence channels and two light scatter measurements.
  • User-friendly design: Intuitive interface with Mac®-based software for streamlined data acquisition and analysis.
  • Automation options: Compatible with the BD FACS™ Loader and BD High Throughput Sampler (HTS) for efficient sample processing from tubes or microplates.
  • Reliable performance: Known for its stability and minimal maintenance requirements, making it a dependable choice for routine analyses.

The BD FACSCalibur™ has been widely applied in various scientific fields, including immunology, haematology, oncology, and microbiology. Its applications encompass immunophenotyping, cell cycle analysis, DNA content analysis, and rare event detection.

Commonly utilised in university laboratories, biomedical research centres, and clinical diagnostics facilities, this flow cytometer has been a staple in laboratories worldwide. Introduced in the late 1990s, the BD FACSCalibur™ remained a popular choice for over two decades. However, BD Biosciences discontinued its sale and support by December 31, 2022.

Despite its discontinuation, the BD FACSCalibur™'s legacy endures, reflecting BD Biosciences' commitment to innovation and quality in flow cytometry solutions.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
