Notice Title

Imaging-enhanced flow cytometer

Notice Description

Imaging-enhanced flow cytometer, for simultaneous morphology and flow data analysis.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply of a CytPix cytrometery system with a matched configuration to existing Attune Nxt system to enable harmonised flow cytometric analyses campus-wide.

Procurement Information

Uniquely, this cytometer incorporates acoustic focusing which produces lower coefficients of variation (cv) compared to the facility's other classical hydrodynamic focusing instruments (<3%). This permits up to 10x faster flow rates, offering huge timesaving whilst maintaining data quality and precision and allowing event rates of up to 35,000 event/sec based upon 10% Poisson statistic rate. It is this feature, coupled with a second 405 nm laser with a <50 nano second pulse width, which further allows for the acquisition of multiple images collecting brightfield images up to 6,000 events/sec depending on image frame size.
