Cytomètre de flux CytoFLEX LX

Le cytomètre de flux CytoFLEX LX est une extension de la plateforme CytoFLEX. Ce modèle élargit les possibilités de recherche avec 6 lasers et 21 paramètres de couleur. Six lasers séparés dans l'espace permettent aux panels d'être répartis sur tout le spectre, réduisant ainsi les interférences et le chevauchement spectral.

Deux séries sont disponibles: UV-Violet-bleu-Jaune Vert-Rouge-IR (U-V-B-Y-R-I) et UV proche-Violet-Bleu-Jaune Vert-Rouge-IR (N-V-B-Y-R-I).
Des instruments avec seulement quatre lasers activés et 14 paramètres de couleur sont disponibles, avec la possibilité d'activer des lasers et des couleurs supplémentaires par l'achat d'une clé d'activation.
Un chargeur de plaques est disponible en option pour les applications à débit plus élevé, et pour une utilisation dans des environnements réglementés, le logiciel contient des outils de conformité 21 CFR Part 11.
