Hi all,
We recently acquired a second hand Accuri C6 flow cytometer (manufactured 2012). Production and support of this model has been discontinued by BD following supersedence by the C6+. We're in need of the fluidics harness, bottles and ideally the bottle holders too. So far we aren't having any luck finding these parts from secondhand science equipment suppliers. But there must be so many unused C6s in research institutes around the UK. Does anyone have any of these spare parts that they're willing to give up or sell? Or does anyone know of a potential supplier for these parts?
Thanks in advance for any help :)
I know its a super-obvious question, but have you tried contacting your local BD manager? They can give you tips and contacts of labs who use the same equipment in the UK. Unfortunately, I am not from the UK, otherwise I would've given you manager's phone number.
Thanks for the answer Zoia. Unfortunately BD aren't being too helpful as they would rather we trade in the C6 to buy a new C6+ from them. But we have made contact with other research groups who have used a C6, alas no one can spare any parts so far!
