Performance
A new diagnostic standard delivering outstanding performance and standardization within and between instruments
The BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometry System is a high-performance, highly sensitive flow cytometer that demonstrates exceptional resolution and improved separation to make dim and rare cell populations easier to resolve.
Higher sensitivity makes dim and rare populations easier to resolve.
Improvement in stain index of 8–190% across all parameters ensures better separation and enables faster analysis and easier gating.
Assay portability simplifies and standardizes instrument setup within your lab and between labs. It also enables the sharing and exchange of data, ideas, and IVD and user-defined protocols within and between institutions.
Highly reproducible results between instruments drive standardization.

Between-instrument reproducibility of target MFI values on the BD FACSLyric™ System
Lyse/wash assay settings were imported across 15 instruments to show effects of standardization on beads. The CVs of the fluorescence intensity across all channels varies by less than 15.3%. Daily QC with one lot of BD® Cytometer Setup & Tracking Beads was run on fifteen BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometers. For each instrument, the PMTV gains were automatically adjusted to meet the target values. BD® FC Beads acquired on each BD FACSLyric™ Instrument. The MFI of positive populations was measured for all parameters across all instruments. The %CV is shown. The data for this internal study were acquired using BD® FC Beads across 15 BD FACSLyric™ Instruments. Greater between-instrument variability could be observed when running biological samples, when using non BD reagents or when comparing fewer instruments.
Applications
A Powerful Solution for CD4 Counts and Other Immunological Assessment
With the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer, clinical laboratories can obtain repeatable and reliable results for immunological assessment of patients having or suspected of having an immune deficiency such as HIV.
BD Multitest™ Reagents, formulated to be used with BD Trucount™ Tubes, provide absolute counting capability.
The BD FACSuite™ Clinical Application, with predefined templates for 4- and 6-color T, B and/or NK cell analysis, provides reproducible and consistent results.
Each reagent includes a cocktail of multiple fluorescently labeled monoclonal antibodies, premixed at the appropriate titer to ensure quality staining.
A streamlined methodology for immunological assessment of patients having or suspected of having an immune deficiency such as HIV using the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer.
