• Instrument health monitoring capabilities in combination with BD^® Remote Support Services.  Connect your BD cytometers to BD Remote Support Services (formerly BD Assurity Linc™ Software), then log in to BD® Research Cloud (BD RC) to view the latest QC reports, charts for viewing the trends of your QC parameters, the disk storage space for your workstations and a convenient dashboard capturing the status of your cytometers.

• BD^® Spectral Hotspot Matrix. Predict the unmixing-dependent spread for each fluorochrome in the context of a specific panel with the BD Spectral Hotspot Matrix. It helps identify problem areas in a panel indicating both the fluorochromes that will experience the most unmixing spread and the problematic combinations of fluorochromes that cause that spread.

• Create BD FACSDiva™ Software experiments with multiple plates. Easily add new plates or duplicate existing plates and then continue to edit specimens and keywords.

• New Notification System. Use the new notification center in BD RC to keep track of what’s going on for you. Be notified in the upper right corner of the software if there are new invites, new workflow steps, files are ready, or if something has been shared with you.

• Add functional dyes. Easily add functional dyes like DNA dyes or fluorescent proteins to your panels using the non-specific species and the “Add Markers” drop down.

And many more enhancements!
