Laser based Flow Cytometers for Research Applications

A40-MiniFCM

Apogee’s high performance A40 flow cytometer is the ultimate system for counting small particles. Its superior light scatter performance allows small bacteria and even large virus particles to be measured, and discriminated from background debris.

Three models of the A40 are available:

• A high performance model with unique performance advantages over other flow cytometers when analyzing small archaea, bacteria and large virus.
• A low cost model for more traditional flow cytometry applications where good sensitivity is still required but cost is a primary concern. This model has sensitivity equal to or better than many other flow cytometers on the market.
• A military version with automated data analysis and reagent mixing.
