The FC 500 Series delivers flexible testing, powerful software and a user-friendly interface; features that help both clinical and basic researchers optimize their overall workflow.
The systems have the capacity to conduct 5-color analysis using either a single (488 nm) laser or a dual (488 nm/633 nm) air-cooled laser configuration. Coupled with the ability to perform tube or plated based automated analysis, the FC 500 Series improves efficiency by enabling users to easily manage and automate every aspect of their flow cytometric analysis.
The FC 500 incorporates Beckman Coulter’s ADC technology, the most advanced method of color compensation available. Combined with high resolution acquisition electronics, its proven algorithm provides superior correction of spectral overlap for more accurate results. With ADC technology, biological samples can be used for automated color compensation, without the limitations of latex beads.
20-bit Digital Signal Processing (DSP) on the system is responsible for excellent linearity, drift-free amplification and accurate color compensation. High resolution color compensation is available during acquisition and in Listmode analysis, increasing the flexibility of the system.
Both optical and digital systems work together to yield unrivalled visualization of low intensity fluorescence populations.
