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.

It is a pivotal development in flow cytometry that allows users to Specifically designed for the analysis of nanoparticles, the CytoFLEX nano Flow Cytometer overcomes the limitations of traditional flow cytometry, giving researchers a flexible solution that can help them advance their research.
It is a pivotal development in flow cytometry that allows users to analyze extracellular vesicles (EVs) at least as small as 40 nm* with ease while simultaneously offering up to 6 separate fluorescent channels of detection and 5 side scatter channels, to deliver full characterization for your nanoparticle research.
Key Specifications: - Sensitivity - With an unparalleled size sensitivity from 1µm to 40nm* and 10nm resolution, the CytoFLEX nano flow cytometer enables the detection of smaller EV populations and their low-abundance cargo.
- Flexibility - Open up your research with 6 fluorescent channels and 5 side scatter channels. Gather all the necessary data with fewer constraints.
- Maximum Consistency - Maintaining contamination-free, robust instrument performance is critical when working with small size particles. Obtain reproducible results you can trust with >90% volumetric counting accuracy and <1% carryover between samples thanks to automated QC controls.
- Familiarity - Built on the same principles as the CytoFLEX platform, the CytoFLEX nano flow cytometer features a similar footprint and user-friendly software interface.
