Fluorochrome selection guide for the BD FACSDiscover A8 Cell Analyzer and BD FACSDiscover S8 Cell Sorter
27 Oct 2026This scientific poster provides a practical guide to fluorochrome selection for high-parameter spectral flow cytometry and imaging-enabled cell analysis using the BD FACSDiscover™ A8 Cell Analyzer and BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter. Discover how fluorochrome brightness, spectral spillover, cross-laser excitation and imaging channel compatibility influence panel performance and data quality. Explore best practices for assigning fluorochromes based on antigen density, minimizing spread, and optimizing compatibility with BD CellView™ Image Technology, helping researchers design robust spectral and imaging flow cytometry experiments with greater confidence.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.
