CECR Main Project

CECR Core Facility

Nomination:The BD FACSCanto derives its name from the musical term “bel canto” meaning

operatic singing that focuses on ease and purity of tone with an agile and precise

vocal technique.

Flow Cytometry Unit

• BD FACSCanto II Cytometer

• The BD FACSCanto system has a capacity for three lasers, eight-parameter

detection while capturing particle sizes from 0.5 to 50 μm in diameter.

• Digital electronics for processing up to 10,000 events per second, and a novel

sample injection tube supporting

Multiparameter detection helps in:

• Advanced cell subset analysis.

• Multiparameter functional studies.

• Soluble protein detection.

• Quantification studies for cell-surface antigens and soluble proteins.

• Decreases the total sample volume necessary for a specific project as more

parameters.

Specifications of the instrumentSpecifications of the instrument

• Immunophenotyping by flow cytometry is an important tool in the diagnosis and

staging of patients with a haematological neoplasm as well as solid tumors.

• Some of the flow cytometry applications in diagnosis of different diseases are listed

below:Detection of

minimal residual disease
