CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer
Manufacturer: Beckman Coulter Life Sciences
SKU: CytoFLEX
Description
The CytoFLEX Flow Cytometer is a core analytical instrument from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, designed to provide high-performance cell analysis in a relatively compact format. It operates on a global voltage range of 100 to 240 V and offers adjustable sample flow rates from 10 to 240 µL per minute. A notable feature is its sensitivity, enabling the detection of particles as minute as 80 nanometers. The system is equipped with 13 distinct fluorescence detection channels, supported by an optical system that includes bandpass filters such as 450/45, 525/40, 585/42, 610/20, 660/10, 690/50, 712/25, and 780/60. Instrument control and data analysis are handled by the integrated CytExpert software. To promote operational reliability and ease of use, the design incorporates a vibration-isolated optical bench and a low-pressure fluidics system that facilitates user-performed routine maintenance. For laboratories seeking automation, the system can be enhanced with an optional 96-well plate loader. Software tools are included to aid compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 regulations in regulated environments, and an API is available for integration with external software systems.
