Frequesntly Asked Questions

How do I choose the right flow cytometer for my research needs?
To choose the right flow cytometer, start by assessing your research goals, sample types, and required parameters, such as the number of lasers, detection channels, sensitivity, and throughput. Then, consider features like ease of use, automation, data analysis capabilities, and scalability to ensure the instrument meets both your current and future experimental needs.
What applications are flow cytometers used for in life sciences?
In life sciences, flow cytometers are used for applications such as cell counting, immunophenotyping, cell cycle analysis, apoptosis detection, protein and biomarker quantification, microbial analysis, and functional assays. They also support specialized studies in areas like cancer research, immunology, stem cell biology, and extracellular vesicle characterization.
What are the differences between flow cytometers from various brands?
Flow cytometers from different brands vary in several key aspects, including the number and type of lasers, detection channels, and sensitivity; the range of supported applications (e.g., basic analysis vs. high-dimensional or spectral cytometry); throughput capacity; and compatibility with automation or high-throughput screening systems. They also differ in software usability, data analysis capabilities, maintenance requirements, service support, and cost, meaning the best choice depends on your research needs, budget, and preferred workflow.
Can I get a quote for a specific flow cytometer model?
Yes, most suppliers and manufacturers provide quotes for specific flow cytometer models upon request. You can typically obtain one by contacting their sales team directly through their website, providing details about the model, configuration, and any additional features or accessories you need.
