BD Biosciences Cell & Gene Tech Expo April 2026: Commercial Readiness

Traditional flow cytometry analysis often hits a bottleneck during the gating phase. Manual adjustments are not only labor-intensive but also introduce subjective bias, which can compromise the reproducibility of critical data. BD ElastiGate™ Technology's machine learning offers a sophisticated alternative by utilizing elastic image registration to automate these complex workflows. By training an algorithm on a small set of representative samples, researchers can create dynamic gates that automatically adjust to sample-to-sample variability.

This supervised approach preserves expert oversight while dramatically increasing throughput—often performing analysis up to 18 times faster than manual methods. This shift from manual intervention to automated precision reduces operator-to-operator variability, ensuring consistent results across different lab environments and experience levels. Transitioning to these intelligent gating systems allows labs to scale their operations and accelerate the path from raw data to actionable insights. Watch the full presentation to see how these automated tools integrate into existing analysis protocols.

About BD Biosciences

BD Biosciences is a world leader in high-dimensional biology, particularly in the following areas:

• Flow Cytometry: Pioneered Fluorescence-Activated Cell Sorting (FACS) technology more than 50 years ago. They offer a wide range of flow cytometers, from simple cell sorters to sophisticated systems with up to 60 parameters.
• Single-Cell Multiomics: Provides advanced solutions like the BD Rhapsody™ System for integrating transcriptomic, proteomic, and epigenomic data at single-cell resolution.
• Reagents and Antibodies: Maintains an extensive portfolio of conjugated antibodies and high-quality fluorochromes (e.g., BD Horizon RealBlue™ and RealViolet™ dyes).
• Clinical Diagnostics: Develops tools for oncology, immunology, and infectious disease management, including minimal residual disease (MRD) kits and HPV screening assays.
