Cellular Imaging for High-Content Analysis
Delivering industry-leading bioimaging, BD Pathway high-content cell
analyzers combine superior image quality, flexible image capture, and live-cell
analysis to address a wide range of applications. BD Pathway systems provide
fluorescence intensity measurements, kinetic imaging, and morphological
analysis, including subcellular imaging.
Both the benchtop BD Pathway 435 and the stand-alone BD Pathway
855 provide high performance and ease of use to improve workflow and
productivity. Cellular images can be captured in either confocal or widefield
mode to deliver high-resolution images for subsequent analysis. A unique
optical spinning disk allows operators to switch between confocal or widefield
modes, minimizing background fluorescence and maximizing image quality.
An innovative motionless stage with movable optics enhances image stability
for loosely adherent and live cells.
Powerful acquisition software allows administrators to easily develop templates
for predefined routine or specialized applications. Researchers can visualize both
endpoint and kinetic image data in a wide range of formats.
To support a wide range of applications, BD Biosciences also provides
BD Bioimaging Certified Reagents ideally suited for optimal image acquisition
and analysis.
As part of BD Biosciences ongoing commitment to bring innovative tools to life
scientists for use in emerging areas of cell research, BD Pathway systems are
backed by world-class technical and application support.

Beyond Bioimaging
Imaging is an ideal companion technology to flow
cytometry. In addition to multiplexed fluorescence intensity
measurements of cell populations, imaging provides the
ability to measure cellular features such as size and shape.
Since cells can be visualized without removing them from
their culture environment, they can be analyzed over time
to provide real-time information about cellular responses
to stimuli. In combination, high-content imaging and
flow cytometry technology provide a comprehensive and
complementary cell analysis solution.
