Sensitivity

An intelligent patent-pending optical design optimizes excitation from up-to three lasers (488nm; 638nm; 405nm) and light collection efficiency. With unique flow cell design and integrated optics, the innovative Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) detection module includes solid-state, high efficiency, low-noise detectors for excellent performance. The WDM’s bandpass-only design guarantees flexibility with easily changeable filters and 4-13 configurations.

Nano particle detection

When equipped with a violet laser, the CytoFLEX can be set up to measure Side Scatter from 405nm for enhanced nanoparticle detection. Mie theory predicts that the scattering cross section of a particle, and thus its scattering intensity, depends on the wavelength of light, the angle of collection, and the size, shape, and refractive index of the particle. All other factors being equal, using a shorter illumination wavelength will result in an increase in scattering cross section, and thus more scattered light. The CytoFLEX offers light scattering parameter measurements from the 488nm laser light, and optionally from the 405nm laser to enhance small particle detection.
