Description

This flowcytometer, the CytoFLEX ((Beckman Coulter) is used for rapid multiparametric analysis of cells and particles in suspension. It enables the characterization and quantification of cell populations based on fluorescence and light scatter properties. The system is suitable for applications such as immunophenotyping, cell viability analysis, apoptosis assays, and fluorescent reporter analysis. No cell sorting functionality is available at this device.

Specifications:

  • Blue laser (488 nm) with 4 fluorescence parameters + SSC + FSC
  • Detection of forward scatter (FSC), side scatter (SSC), and fluorescence signals
  • Compatible with standard flow cytometry tubes and microplates (CytoFLEX Plate Loader DW)
  • Software: CytExpert 
  • No cell sorting
