Attune Acoustic Focusing Cytometer 4445280ASR

  The Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer is a six-color benchtop analyzer that uses a revolutionary new technology, acoustic focusing, to align cells prior to integration with a laser for your multicolor flow cytometry analyses. The Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer is a simple to operate, robust system that provides high-quality data and high throughput while maintaining flexibility with the amount and concentration of the starting sample.

Specifications

• Precise—High collection rates without compromising CVs

• Faster—Rare even detection in dramatically reduced acquistion times

• Simple—Run samples without red blood cell (RBC) lysis or washing

(minimizes cell loss)

• Accurate—Directly measure absolute cell counts without the use of beads

Rare Event Detection in Dramatically Reduced Acquisition Times

  The Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer is designed to collect up to 20 million events per run. The Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer uses an innovative technology that exploits the physical difference between cells or particles relative to the background medium, allowing adjustable collection rates ranging from 25 µL/min to 1000 µL/min, which is nearly an order of magnitude higher than a conventional flow cytometer. 

High Collection Rates Without Compromising CVs

  Traditional flow cytometers utilize hydrodynamic focusing that wraps an inner sample core with a outer layer of sheath fluid to align the cells. As the sample introduction increases, the sample core stream widens and cells become less focused resulting in increased variability of signal. In the Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer, the cell alignment is maintained in the precise center of the sample stream even as the sample stream widens with the increased rate of sample introduction.

This tight alignment results in:

• Improved data quality by minimizing variability as cells pass through laser

• Reduced CVs, leading to better resolution

• Increased sensitivity achieved with variable flow rates that allow longer laser dwell times
