An extensive portfolio of reagents for all parts of your flow cytometry workflow and for a range of applications, from clinical diagnostics to research—all from a single source with a global footprint

Our flow cytometry reagents work with an array of flow cytometers—in terms of laser, fluorescent label and clone compatibility—to enable you to discern the exact cell subpopulations you need with excellent clarity and performance. Our breadth of offerings also enables you to choose the reagents and combinations of products required for your entire workflow, all from a single source, saving you both time and effort. Our global supply chain and distribution network enables us to cater to the various needs of our customers all around the world.

Our reagents are developed using cutting-edge technology, are tested rigorously and offer high-quality and performance  

BD Biosciences flow cytometry reagents and their components are meticulously tested for quality control, and as a result, boast delivery of high-quality and reliable results.

The quality of our reagents, combined with our technological expertise and close collaboration with customers to continuously improve our products, has enabled us to support the advancement of science on a global scale and usage in clinical research trials.

Our BD Horizon Brilliant™ Fluorochromes, including the first-ever UV reagents, are unique polymers of very bright and photostable dyes that enable you to resolve cell populations that were previously obscured, opening new avenues and offering deeper levels of flow cytometry analysis than ever possible before.

All our reagents are performance-optimized for our BD flow cytometers and software and informatics solutions to facilitate high-parameter flow cytometry analysis. Our custom solutions provide you with the ability to tailor your selections to suit your needs. Our exclusive BD Horizon™ Dri Technology greatly reduces variability and panels built using this technology eliminate manual pipetting and provide the efficiency you need for your clinical research applications.

Backed by extensive scientific publications and usage in a large number of clinical trials

As flow cytometry reagents trusted by scientists worldwide, BD Biosciences reagents have been extensively used in scientific publications and clinical trials.

Our immunology reagent portfolio has aided researchers in advancing the field of immunology for over 25 years. In addition, BD flow cytometry reagents have been used in a wide variety of applications, from water quality testing to COVID-19 research. Our reagents have been used extensively in oncology, hematology, infectious diseases and transplant research.
