Accuri Cytometers

Microbiology

Microbiological applications of flow cytometry are very diverse – from cell counting and viability assays to detection of cyanobacter populations in aquatic environments. Applications include:

  • Cell Counts and Viability
  • Molecular Techniques, such as transfection
  • Population Characterization
  • Food and Dairy Microbiology
  • Aquatic Microbiology

    • The Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer System with CFlow Plus Software provides many advantages for apoptosis studies:

  • Absolute counts - Cell concentration can be calculated directly from CFlow software statistics tables without the addition of counting beads.
  • Six detection parameters - The dual laser (blue and red) excitation, 4-color detection system allows flexibility in reagent choice.
  • Post collection data analysis - The unique 7-log dynamic range and pre-optimized detector performance minimizes the potential for data loss due to incorrect instrument set up.
  • Digital signal processing - Data signal processing allows post-data collection, fluorescence compensation and gating decision adjustments.
  • Compact and robust – The Accuri C6 functions just as well on a boat as it does in a life sciences laboratory.
