1. Optics:

  • 3 lasers
    • Blue laser: 488 nm, 50 mW
    • Violet laser: 405 nm, 50 mW
    • Red laser: 637 nm, 100 mW
    • A fourth yellow laser (561 nm, 50 mW) enabling 16 parameters is available as an upgrade.
  • 13 individual detectors:
    • 11 fluorescent detectors
    • 2 of light dispersion (FSC + SSC)
    • Fluorescence sensitivity:
    • <80 MESF for FITC
    • <30 MESF for PE
    • <70 MESF for APC
  • Set of optimized filters for clinical cytometry most used fluorochromes:
    • VL-1: 440/50 (PacB; BV421; SB436; PR436)
    • VL-2: 512/25 (OC515; PacO*; AmCyan; BV510)
    • VL-3: 603/48 (BV605; PacO*; SB600; PR600)
    • VL-4: 710/50 (BV711; SB702)
    • BL-1: 530/30 (FITC)
    • BL-2: 574/26 (PE)
    • BL-3: 695/40 (PerCP-Cy5.5)
    • BL-4: 780/60 (PE-Cy7)
    • RL-1: 670/14 (APC)
    • RL-2: 720/30 (Alexa700; APC-A700)
    • RL-3: 780/60 (APC-C750; APC-H7; APC-Cy7)

*This fluorochrome can be detected by several filters.

  • Flat-top parallel lasers with fixed alignment:
    • High stability and sensitivity
    • Lower calibration frequency

2. Fluidics:

Volumetric system:

    • Allows absolute cell counts (cells/µL)
    • Low fluid consumption: no fluidics cart is required
    • Allows different types of tubes (Ø 17×100 mm and 8.5×45 mm)
    • Recovery of unacquired volumes in loaded samples

Acoustic assisted hydrodynamic focusing:

    • Higher reproducibility and accuracy even at high rates
    • Flow rate between 12.5 and 1,000 µL/min: 12.5, 25, 100, 200, 500 and 1.000µL/min
    • Higher acquisition rate of diluted samples
    • The acoustic focusing system works only from the flow rate: 100µL/min. At 12.5 and 25µL/min, the fluidic system works as a standard hydrodinamic system

Anti-clogging technology:

    • Reduced risk of clogging even with high concentration samples

3. Performance:

Digital system with 20 bits and 1,048,576 channels.

    • Electronic pulse: area, height and width for all detectors.
    • Acquisition rate: up to 35,000 events/sec*.

*This is the electronic resolution at optimal conditions; diagnostic samples are not intended to be acquired at this rate.
4. Acquisition software:

Full matrix compensation, in manual or automatic modes.

    • Up to ~20 million events can be recorded in a single file.
    • Prevents data loss since aborted events, including aggregates, are recorded. Notice that aggregates may contain cells of interest such as plasma cells*.

* Files may present higher percentage of doublets than expected.

    • Running stops when acquisition problems, such as bubbles, are detected.

5. Quality

Manufacturing standards comply with ISO 13485:2016
CE-IVD
