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

{{  :flow_cell_sit_sample.png?0x300|}}
{{  :facsymphony_detectors.png?0x200|}} The BD FACSymphony™ A5 SE allows for high-parameter spectral flow cytometry. It enables you to gain full visible spectrum coverage to collect all light emitted without the need for filter changes, increasing dye flexibility and number of simultaneous colors. It also allows for autofluorescence unmixing, that may enable the resolution of difficult cells and populations.
\\
\\
  * 48 fluorescent detectors
  * Five lasers with ultra-violet (349nm), violet (405 nm), blue (488 nm), yellow-green (561 nm) and red (640 nm) 
  * Enables both spectral unmixing and compensation workflows
\\
**If you need high parameter cell analysis, check the [[cytek_aurora|CYTEK Aurora]].**

**If you need a multicolor analysis of less then 16, 13 or 4 parameters, check also the [[bd_lsr_fortessa_X20|BD LSRFortessa X20]], the [[bd_lsr_fortessa_2|BD LSRFortessa]] or [[bd_accuri_c6|BD Accuri C6 Plus]].**

**If you need a high-throughput sampler, check the [[bd_lsr_fortessa_2|BD LSRFortessa]] or the [[cytek_aurora|CYTEK Aurora]].**
