Cytomics FC500 Flow Cytometer
The Cytomics FC 500 Flow Cytometer Automated tube-based acquisition for clinical assays. It has the capacity to conduct 5-color analysis using either a single 488 nm (blue) laser or a dual 488 nm/635 nm (blue/red) laser. The FC500 is available with a carousel tube loader or a Multi-Platform Loader (MPL) that accommodates both tubes and plates.
- stemCXP Software for hematopoietic stem cell enumeration
- tetraCXP Software for TBNK analysis
- ADC technology for color compensation
- Compensate during acquisition and in listmode analysis
