BD LSRFORTESSA

It is possible to analyze with multiple colors with good resolution. Almost the same results can be obtained if the conditions are matched each time, and there are few errors caused by equipment factors. Almost no breakdowns. Very easy to use. It is a risk that the users can analyze even with little understanding of the principles. Startup takes about 30 minutes including calibration, and shutdown takes about 20 minutes including cleanup, but it is almost all waiting time, so it takes very little time. It has an auto competition function, but if you take it strictly, you may have to recalibrate it yourself. The laser abruptly cuts out when it has been used for some time. It may take some time to order it, so it would be better to make arrangements. I feel that the after-sales service is excellent. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

A sturdy cytometer with HTS sampling.

The LSR Fortessa X20 expands on the LSR Fortessa capabilities, bringing it to read up to 19 parameters. The plate reader is a nice and powerful addition although requires additional training to be used. It is not a flow cytometer for a casual/occasional user; it benefits from having specially trained staff, as it is relatively complicated and there are several tricks that may not be obvious to users not familiar with the instrument and that are essential to keep the instrument in working order. Even if maintained properly, it can be temperamental as it suffers from environmental parameter variations (such as ambient temperature, humidity). PROS: The instrument reads up to 19 parameters. The instrument is good value for money, in particular if buying the plate reader. It is important to buy the highest level of assistance contract. The customer service is extremely helpful when needing to solve issues. CONS: Requires expert users (not for beginners). The plate reader is extremely useful but not well integrated as it is obvious that it has been added at a later date. Requires inflexible environmental conditions.

The BD LSRFORTESSA is a state-of-the-art flow analyzer. Equipped with a plate sampler, it can provide sample acquisition of a 96-well plate in approximately 40 minutes in real world conditions. Easy-to-use software makes the instrument accessible.

I am a heavy user of the BD Fortessa and do over 10 color flow regularly. Being in a flow core, the machine breaks down frequently and the BD repair and maintenance is excellent in sending someone over in less than a day. My priceless samples that are fixed can't wait to get acquired and analyzed.

Extremely user friendly and gives high quality results. I would definitely recommend it.

The instrument is very dependable, with little to no day to day variation in results. Stainings done the same way on similarly treated cells achieves similar results. With 17 available channels spread across 4 laser lines, this instrument is the lifeline of all my flow cytometry work.

I have been using BD Biosciences Fortessa for a couple of years and would definitely recommend it. It's easy to use and very efficient. I have used it for analysis of my mouse samples as well as my cells and have got very efficient results all the time. I have used it for up to 7 colors for my analysis.
