BD FACSCount Instrument
by BD Biosciences
This white paper by BD Biosciences describes the BD FACSCount instrument, a complete system incorporating software analysis, unit dose reagents and four levels of bead controls to provide absolute CD4, CD8 and CD3 counts. It eliminates the need for an external hematology result. This change removes the variability found in absolute counts, which had been introduced by combining flow cytometry results with those from a variety of automated cell counters. The white paper also explains the advantages of single-platform methodology over dual-platform methodology, which reduces interlaboratory variability, and detailed descriptions of sample preparation, software analysis, principles of procedures such as staining, control runs and quality control. It also discusses the evaluation of clinical data in terms of accuracy, precision, interlaboratory reproducibility, stability and reference range.
