BD Influx is a stream-in-air cell sorter which allows multi-parameter detection (up to 18 PMTs for different scattering and fluorescence parameters) and high-speed sorting into different collection plate/ tube formats. It features high acquisition rate (maximum 200,000 events per second) for data recording and sorting. Contained in a Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet, this sorter allows users to handle agents of BSL-2 or below.

​

The system design is highly flexible and customizable. To access the sorter, users have to register for the training session (the training session for Influx A, Influx B and BSC-Influx is the same), complete an online quiz then undergo hands-on evaluation.
