Laser Based Flow Cytometer

The A40-MiniFCM, a new generation laser based instrument, is now available instead of the A10/Bryte.

Features:

• Rugged and reliable - proven in military environments
• Easy to use, minimal operator maintenance
• Self cleaning
• Unrivalled light scatter and fluorescence resolution
• Volumetric sample injection - absolute counting feature as standard
• Unique dark field scatter optics with excellent sensitivity to small particles
• High numerical aperture optics for optimal fluorescence sensitivity
• Optional closed-loop fluidics system for field or laboratory use
• Open system - purchase your reagents from the most competitive supplier

Apogee continues to offer parts and technical support for A10/Bryte arc-lamp flow cytometers. This machine was originally manufactured by Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. and incorporates patented technologies developed to achieve the sensitivity required for microbiology applications while avoiding the expense of multiple lasers. Do not hesitate to contact us for free technical support.

This instrument established a reputation among microbiologists as the best flow cytometer for archaea and bacteria. The A40-MiniFCM has even higher sensitivity than the Bryte and is therefore the instrument of choice for microbiology applications.
 

Features of the A10/Bryte:

• Simple to operate and economical
• Easy to use 'Windows' software with all standard FCM facilities and more
• Two light scatter, three fluorescence channels
• Flexible arc lamp illumination allows the optimal excitation of a wide range of fluorescent molecules
• Excellent light scatter sensitivity for the analysis of bacterial cells and other small particles
• High quality interference filters and photomultiplier detectors
• Bio-safe closed flow cell
• Volumetric sample injection allows computer controlled sample rate, and direct determination of cell count per volume of sample
