FACSMelody specifications
The BD FACSMelody is easy to use as its streamlined workflow eliminates manual setup of the stream and monitoring of the sort, which minimizes hands-on time. Unlike the FACSAria Fusion, learning to operate the Melody is easy. The BD FACSChorus software prompts novice users with step-by-step instructions and it eliminates the need for setting up the sort stream and monitoring the sort, reducing the risk of poor sort outcome. The Melody has a fixed flow cell and reusable nozzle. Sort devices include 2 -way tubes as well as 6-, 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-well plates. Additional accessories include biological safety cabinet and aerosol management system.
