===== System overview =====

The BD Accuri C6 Plus //cell analyzer// is an easy-to-use benchtop flow cytometer that allows for absolute cell counting and has a flexible optical layout. It has two lasers - 488 nm and 640 nm and four fluorescence detectors. The BD Accuri C6 Plus can acquire up to 10,000 events/second, with the data being digitally collected over a 7-decade dynamic range. Its low pressure pumping system allows for acquisition with any type of device (e.g. FACS, Eppendorf or Falcon tubes). Since the sample tube remains open (is not pressurized), the Accuri C6 Plus allows for addition of compounds without interruption in sampling.
**The fluidics system derives sample volume and can determine absolute cell counts** or sample concentration per microliter. 

  * Two lasers: blue (488 nm) and red (640 nm)
  * Multicolor analysis of up to 4 parameters

**If you need a cell analyzer with more colors, check [[bd_lsr_fortessa_1|BD LSRFortessa 1]], [[bd_lsr_fortessa_2|BD LSRFortessa 2]] and [[bd_lsr_fortessa_x20|BD LSRFortessa X20]] instead. 
\\
If you need a high-throughput sampler, check the [[bd_lsr_fortessa_2|BD LSRFortessa 2]]**
