Flow cytometers are specialized instruments that analyze populations of cells and particles using laser-based fluorescence detection.
Particles are suspended in a stream of fluid and flow through a detector in a single file.
Individual particles are then analyzed using fluorescent markers, such as conjugated specific antibodies.
A cell sorter is a type of cytometer that also isolates and collects desired cell populations for further analysis or for cell culture.
Image cytometers, meanwhile use microscopy and fluorescence imaging capabilities for cell analysis.
Flow cytometry is widely used in basic and clinical research for techniques such as cell counting, cell characterization, cell-based assays, protein and biomarker detection, microbial analysis, and more.
Browse our catalog of flow cytometers from leading manufacturers and evaluate models by different attributes, such as the number of detection parameters, number of lasers, accommodated laser wavelengths, sample input formats, throughput, and more.
Instruments may also come with unique software, which should be user-friendly for flow cytometry novices, and advanced for experienced users to perform sophisticated experimental setups and analyses.
Consider whether your laboratory needs a system that permits customization and provides imaging capability, and the degree of resolution your lab requires. Look for features such as automatic start-up, shutdown or cleaning, partially or fully automated processing, and quality customer support and service provided by the manufacturer.
