Our History

Accuri Cytometers, Inc. was founded to address a compelling need: life scientists love the rapid cell-by-cell analysis capability of flow cytometers, but too few have a flow cytometer in their lab. The barriers for most researchers include cost of the instrument, complexity of the software, effort required for maintenance, and the large amount of bench space required for the instrument.

With a tight focus on creating an affordable, robust, easy-to-use flow cytometer, our engineering team went back to basic principles and designed an innovative instrument from the ground up to meet our customer-driven specifications.

...do the simplest thing that might possibly work

• Our easy-to-maintain fluidics system independently controls the core size and sample flow rate, a first in the marketplace.
• Our compact, robust optics with long-life lasers and low cost detectors make it possible to deliver our flow cytometer quickly and cost-effectively through express shipping.
• Our electronics deliver best-in-class dynamic range.
• The BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer can fit on just about any benchtop. It weighs less than 30 pounds (13.6 kg) and take up less space than a typical microwave.
  

Conversations with flow cytometry users made it clear that the software was just as important as the hardware in coloring the users' experience. We focused on understanding the needs of flow cytometry users and designed system functionality and user interfaces to match those needs. All along the way we tested our designs with many researchers who volunteered to help us create software that was so intuitive that no training course was required to get started.
