CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer
The CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer, the first introduction to the CytoFLEX Platform, provides the performance you need in an easy to use system allowing you to focus on the science, not the instrumentation. Its superior sensitivity and resolution throughout all configurations give it the edge over other cytometry systems four times its size. All instruments in the platform utilize CytExpert for CytoFLEX Acquisition and Analysis Software.
- Violet-Blue-Red (V-B-R) Series, fully activated with 13 colors or as few as four, activate additional channels in the future
- Includes 13 band pass filters: 450/45, 525/40 (2), 585/42, 610/20 (2), 660/10 (2), 690/50, 712/25, 780/60 (3)
- For higher throughput applications an optional plate loader module is available and for use in regulated environments the software contains tools for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance
CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer Features
Exquisite Sensitivity
