Acoustic Focusing Flow Cytometer
LISTED UNDER:
Life science researchers who want to broaden their cell analysis capabilities can now employ a next-generation flow cytometer with a modular design that provides flexibility in applications ranging from biomarker discovery to cancer research. The Life Technologies Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer uses a proprietary acoustic focusing technology to increase detection sensitivity and throughput. It can also be easily configured to run with one to four lasers, enabling it to detect up to 14 colors in a sample and to scale with the changing research needs and budgetary demands of any lab.
The Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer builds on the first generation Attune instrument introduced in 2010. Like its predecessor, the Attune NxT uses sound waves, as opposed to hydrodynamics, to focus cells past the laser detection system for analysis. Acoustic focusing enables higher control of the cells as they pass through the interrogation point, resulting in more intense (faster and more precise) sample interrogation capabilities.
