BD Accuri® C6 Flow Cytometer

BD Accuri C6 flow cytometers, BD CFlow® Software and Workstation PC supply all the capabilities of a full-featured flow cytometer at an affordable price. The system includes blue and red lasers, four color detectors, and both forward and side scatter detectors plus software that is so intuitive that you will typically be up and running within an hour of receiving your BD Accuri system.

BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer

A simple design for complex research.

Our engineers had a daunting task-build a cytometer that is compact, simple to operate, easy to afford, and high performance. We started by listening to scientists like you and then designing a flow cytometer from the ground up incorporating your needs. We worked hard to provide the performance for most experiments, while making the BD Accuri C6 easy to use, simple to maintain, and affordable for everyone.

Our innovations in fluidics, optics, electronics, and software, coupled with state-of-the-art components, result in a cytometer that is powerful, robust, compact, and affordable. We also developed an intuitive user interface that can be mastered in minutes. And we've done all of this so you can focus on one thing: advancing your science, in your lab.

"When I first heard about the Accuri C6 it seemed too good to be true. After using it for the past few months I am happy to say that 'good' and 'true' are still very much applicable. The small footprint, low maintenance costs and ease of use make it an excellent choice for any lab which wants to get away from the long queue (at least in our institution) of the Core cytometry facilities. To paraphrase a well known childhood memory, it’s 'the little cytometer that could.' "
