The SP6800 is a FACS spectral analyzer specially adapted to analyze multi stain fluorescently labelled cells without the need for complicated compensation corrections.

By using a configuration of 32 filters between the 500 and the 800nm range, and an additional set of 5 more filters between 400 and 500nm range, it can calculate the emission spectrum of each dye used in the experiment. Next, it calculates its contribution to the total fluorescence. Finally, it easily displays the results in a multicolor staining experiment, without the need for biased\complicated compensation matrixes.

The results are then displayed as a standard density plot/histogram as in any other FACS instrument and can be also exported in a FSC 3.0 file format.
