See the Data in Action
Get a sneak peek on how you can directly interact with image data in real time on a flow cytometer.
Image and flow data on each event are seamlessly integrated. You can easily view the image for an event by mousing over a dot on any scatter plot, even during acquisition. There is an image wall feature that allows you to look at images of all the events within a gate. While the sample is running, the image wall will update in real time to display the last 50 events that were analyzed.
Single-cell Imaging that Is Faster than Anything Seen
Our proprietary technology enables imaging so fast, you can even use it to sort.
Unlike other technologies that combine imaging and flow cytometry, BD CellView™ Image Technology does not use a camera to image cells. This technical distinction is important because it enables imaging at much faster rates.
Previous imaging flow cytometry utilized camera-based technologies that require closely controlled fluidics. The strict fluidic requirements mean that these technologies have not been demonstrated with high-speed droplet cell sorting.
BD CellView™ Image Technology can perform camera-free imaging that is not limited by these fluidic requirements, allowing for throughput faster than other commercially available technologies that incorporate imaging into flow cytometry. More excitingly, it can enhance fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) with live visual inspection of target cells and novel gating strategies based on real-time image feature analysis using spatial distribution of fluorescence–capabilities that cannot be found with any cytometer on the market.

BD CellView™ Image Technology Can Be Used for a Wide Range of Applications
By enhancing the performance of flow cytometry analysis and sorting, our novel technology enables the application of flow cytometry in fields beyond immunology including oncology, cell biology, plant biology, microbiology and genomics.
Easily gate and sort with image features that are visualized in familiar dot plots and histograms. Spatial and morphological insights on scatter and fluorescent signals enable assays for:
- Subcellular structural elements (organelles)
- Internalization and trafficking
- Cell-to-cell interactions (cancer cell killing and immune synapse)
- Deeper DNA and cell analysis division, and more
“We’ve been longing for years to have fast, robust and fluorescence enabled single-cell imaging integrated into a standard flow cytometer that would allow us to picture the cell and provide spatial information. This is exactly what BD CellView™ Image Technology achieves – pairing its reliable high-end cytometry technology with a very clever way of generating imaging parameters on the fly.”
