儀器規格

High-speed camera option and automated image-processing transform flow cytometry

• Acoustic focusing fluidics enable the high-sensitivity of the Attune Flow Cytometers even at very fast sample flow-rates (up to 1000 µL/min)

• The Attune CytPix model adds a high-speed brightfield camera to capture images of cells as they pass through the flow cell, even at the fastest flow rates

• Image analysis software implements simultaneous measurement of cell morphology parameters in addition to standard flow cytometric parameters

Fast, accurate acquisition

Acoustic focusing also lets your lab rapidly acquire high-quality data. Users can achieve sample throughput rates of 12.5 µL/min or 1,000 µL/min, up to 10 times faster than traditional hydrodynamic focusing systems and acquisition speeds of 35,000 events per second. This means processing all samples—including low-concentration and precious samples—more quickly and accurately with minimal loss in quality.

Rare event detection

Detection of rare events requires acquisition of high numbers of cells to attain a reliable measure of accuracy. Attune Flow Cytometers allow dilute samples to be processed quickly at sample input speeds of up to 1 mL/min, significantly faster than conventional cytometers that support maximum sample input rates of 60–100 µL/min. Acoustic focusing thus offers a unique combination of speed and quality, cutting the time to collect rare events significantly over long acquisition times.

 Designed for flexibility

Attune Flow Cytometers are configurable with up to 4 spatially separated lasers and 16 parameters. Spatial separation provides flexibility for multicolor panel design and streamlines compensation.  The system offers superior speed with acquisition rates of up to 35,000 events per/second with high sensitivity to meet a range of research requirements.

High sensitivity distinguishes between dim signals and background, resulting in less variation and better signal separation. Fluorescent resolution coefficient variation is less than 3% for a single peak, and predicted MESF is ≤80 (FITC), ≤30 (PE), ≤70 (APC). Sensitivity in comparison to competitive systems is described below.

Clog-resistant technology

To prevent clogging and allow for volumetric analysis, the Attune Flow Cytometers use a positive displacement syringe pump to control sample volume. The system can perform volumetric cell counts in a known volume (gated or total events) and can easily gate out dead cells to count live cells only in a live/dead analysis. Unlike traditional cytometers that operate at a maximum pressure of 15 PSI, Attune Flow Cytometers control pressure at 75 PSI, reducing the likelihood of cell-cell interactions and resulting in clog resistance.
