Note: The linked templates on this page are provided for the convenience of our research customers. Although they have not been validated, they have been used by BD or our customers to generate the sample data in the product information sheets. The templates have been designed using the current BD Accuri™ C6 Software, version 264.21. They are not compatible with version 172.9, 227.4, or 202.8 software. Further optimization may be required before use, and it is the end user's responsibility to ensure that use of the template is appropriate to their research.
