A40-Military
Rugged Flow Cytometers for Military Use
The US Army chose Apogee technology to meet their flow cytometry needs because it delivers the best small particle sensitivity.
Our "A40-Military" cytometer is designed to screen for pathogenic bacteria and requires virtually no operator training. Its sensitivity and automated detection algorithm allows bacteria to be rapidly distinguished from harmless debris (smoke particles, dust etc).
An early version of the system was developed in a collaboration between Los Alamos National Laboratory (New Mexico, USA), the Institute of Cancer Research in Norway (Dept of Biophysics, Oslo) and Bio-Rad Microscience. Following substantial re-engineering at Apogee, this instrument is now the leading system for military applications.
The "A40-Military" is a military version of the research "A40" model.
The easy to operate A40-Military Cytometer was originally developed in a collaboration between Los Alamos National Laboratory (New Mexico, USA), the Institute of Cancer Research in Norway (Dept of Biophysics, Oslo) and Apogee personnel.
Features of the A40-Military Flow Cytometer
- Fully automatic Apogee software detection algorithm
- Automated DNA labeling
- Volumetric sample injection
- Excellent light scatter sensitivity and resolution to discriminate between populations of particles
- Excellent fluorescence sensitivity due to high numerical aperture optics. (the specification is dependent on your choice of light source and reagent)
- Closed flow cell design for bio-hazard containment
- Weight approx 20kg
- Dimensions 30 x 45 x 45cm
- Rugged, reliable construction
