Flow cytometers are instruments used to analyze cells within a solution and provide multi-parameter analysis capabilities. A flow cytometer instrument is often comprised of a fluidic system to transport cells in solution, lenses and filters, as well as a laser or other light source to provide scattered and fluorescent light that is then analyzed by a detector. Flow cytometer detectors commonly include photodiodes or photomultiplier tubes. Used extensively throughout the life sciences industry, flow cytometers provide users with a wealth of information such as the determination of cell characteristics and function, biomarker discovery, treatment and diagnosis information, cell counting and or sorting, and many others. When comparing flow cytometers, ensure that the excitation wavelength and flow rate are compatible with your specific assay. Additionally, many flow cytometers can accommodate several sample formats such as tubes or microplates, and should be considered to ensure smooth integration with your current processes.

The AQUIOS CL is the first true Load & Go flow cytometer, combining sample preparation and analysis in one platform while optimizing the usage of limited laboratory space. With the intuitive technology that requires less training it increases productivity while reducing error-prone steps. - Improve handling of potentially biohazardous sample material through cap piercing
- Increase productivity with high-throughput performance
- Enable full traceability through barcoded reagents and LIS connectivity
- Benefit from a Windows 10 operating system
Load and Go Simplicity
AQUIOS CL in your lab means you can…
Provide a 24/7 flow cytometry service
as the AQUIOS CL can be run safely by less experienced operators.
Increase productivity
with high-throughput performance that eliminates many of the least efficient features of existing systems. Minimize the potential for user error
inherent in existing systems that require numerous manual steps to set up and run. Allocate staff resources for maximum productivity,
putting your skilled operators where you need them most. Minimize exposure to potentially biohazardous material
such as open blood tubes. ... Read More | 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.
