Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX Cytometer

The Beckman Coulter CytoFLEX is a compact bench-top flow cytometer for research use. It can acquire 10 parameters on a single sample excited by the 405nm, 488nm, and 638nm lasers, up to 8 fluorescent colors, plus forward and side scatter data channels.

CytoFLEX Cytometer uses the sample peristaltic pump to take sample and calibrates sample volume delivery for absolute cell counts without using beads. It can process samples at flow rate between 10 uL and 240 uL per minute providing high sensitivity and adjustable flow rates.

The CytExpert software provides 7 decade of data display and the event collection rate can be up to 30,000 events/second.

Sample Input Format: 96 well-plate.
