Accuri Cytometers

CFlow® software makes flow cytometry accessible to everyone. Accuri believes ease of use makes for better research.


To get the most out of Accuri C6 we created CFlow, flow cytometry software that is easy to learn and easy to use. However, we did not trade power for simplicity. Instead we paid careful attention to the needs of researchers like you and worked diligently to meet those needs in an elegant way.

We partnered with Menlo Innovations, experts in developing user-friendly software, and spared no effort to ensure that our CFlow flow cytometry software makes sense to researchers who use it, not just the software developers who built it. We were joined by many scientists who volunteered to test drive our software designs during the development process. The result is software that is equally accessible to cytometry experts and to researchers trying flow cytometry for the first time.

And now you can supplement your CFlow data analysis with the extended capabilities of FCS Express. We teamed up with De Novo Software to create the customized Accuri CFlow Importer for seamless integration of CFlow files into FCS Express, an industry-leading flow cytometry data analysis software package. FCS Express extends the data analysis and presentation capabilities of CFlow to include color dot plots, a wide range of statistics, including percentiles and robust CV's, custom reporting, easy data importation into PowerPoint, Excel and Word, vector scaleable images, batch processing and more.

"The Accuri C6 cytometer and CFlow Plus have far exceeded our expectations. The C6 provides important additional data that we have previously been missing. One is the highly accurate volume determination, so that absolute cell counts are automatically recorded for each experiment. Secondly, the six-log scale means that we can collect all data without compensation, so that runs from different days can be more easily compared. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the C6, and would highly recommend it."

CFlow software offers:

Tabs for collection, analysis and statistics

The tabbed approach to access functions such as Collect, Analyze and Statistics, makes user software options and instrument controls clearly visible on screen, not hidden under layers of menus. In fact, most current flow cytometer users are able to collect and analyze data in less than 30 minutes. Even novice users quickly learn CFlow with a simple quick-start guide.
