Attune™ NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer

The Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer 2019 Edition is an easy-to-use system for analyzing particle size and structure of cells as well as protein expression by fluorescent signals. Its groundbreaking system design delivers accurate results at speeds up to 10 times faster than similar systems. This analysis system allows us to minimize sample preparation operations, reduce analysis time, and allow an analysis of small sample sizes, minimizing errors leading to increased accuracy in the distribution of cell populations. Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer is an ideal choice for immunological morphology, cell signaling, cell cycle, rare phenomena detection, stem cell analysis, cancer cell analysis, and apoptosis. In addition, bacteriological analyzes can also be performed using this system.

-The Invitrogen™ Attune™ NxT Flow Cytometer system combines precision with performance in a true benchtop flow cytometer, with up to 4 lasers and 16 parameters of detection.

- The device is designed in a modular form, with a fast and simple optional upgrade, suitable for a wide range of applications as well as a customer's budget.

- The device uses a combination of ultrasonic waves (over 2MHz) and hydrodynamics to guide the cells into the correct position, focusing along the central axis in the capillary, for accurate analysis, without causing cell damage.

- With acoustic focusing technology alignment, the device achieves optimum sensitivity even at sample rates of up to 1 mL/min.
- Attune NxT is designed to capture data up to 35,000 events/second, detecting particles from 0.5µm to 50µm in size
- Equipment is capable of providing the following utilities:
  • Time savings—up to 10x faster data acquisition speeds.
  • Reduced clogging—engineered for even large or sticky cell types.
  • Efficient protocols—rapid no-wash, no-lyse sample prep helps reduce protocol time and minimize cell loss.
  • Robust software—developed to offer user-focused functionality with many automated, user-definable, and administrative features.
  • Reduced need for compensation—spatially separated lasers.
  • Elegant fluidics design—readily accessible, easy to fill, and requires minimal maintenance.
  • Rare-event detection—technology for identifying very rare subpopulations of cells with high efficiency and certainty.
  • Flexibility—choice of lasers and parameters.
  • Multiple configurations—for a broad array of applications.
