What’s acoustic focusing

– High flow rates of highly diluted samples

– Less doublets

– Anti-clogging technology

– Low fluid consumption: no fluidics cart is required

Automatic detection of bubbles    

The system is capable to detect bubbles stopping the acquisition and allowing to save previous data maintaining data files quality

– No loss of valuable information

– Save time

Possible to recover unused samples    

– No loss of sample

– Safe acquisition

Different flow rates: 12,5, 25, 100, 200, 500 and 1.000 uL/min    

– High versatility

– Quick acquisition at the fastest flow rate

Variable particle velocity:    

Variable particle velocity:

  • 12,5 – 200 uL/min > 4 m/second
  • 500 – 1.000 uL/min > 8 m/second

– Decreases acquisition time with highly diluted samples

Acquisition volume: 20 uL - 4 mL    

– High flexibility

– Big accuracy

Data acquisition up to 35.000 events/second    – Allows flexibility and a quicker acquisition
Flat top lasers    

What are flat top lasers?

– Robust, sensitive and stable system

– Less misalignment issues

– Less need of calibration

Simmer mode: lasers switched on only during acquisition    

– Increases 10X lifetime

– Less technical service issues

SSC detector for violet laser    

– Detection of small particles

– Detection of erythrocytes simultaneously with any leucocyte population in no lyse no wash protocol with whole blood and bone marrow samples

No loss of information    – All the samples are saved even if they have not been recorded during acquisition
No abort rate    – Possibility to save all events including electronic aborts
Possible to record up to 20 million events with all parameters    

– Useful for the study of samples with rare populations
