CytoFLEX nano Flow Cytometer Commercial Talk at ISAC CYTO 2024

While the usefulness of flow cytometry for the measurement of nanoscale particles has never been in doubt, researchers have encountered challenges in implementing robust, repeatable frameworks for experimental design and particle interrogation. This is in no small part the result of limitations associated with commercially available flow cytometers. The paradigms associated with cellular measurement are not well aligned with the requirements for sub-micron analysis. The hardware systems available and the associated training are purposefully built for the task and may require significant manipulation of sample and sheath fluidics, optical detection layouts and settings and interrogation settings to accommodate measurements often taken nearly at the edge of instrument noise. Samples must be carefully managed and extensive assay requirements met for researchers to have confidence in the reported data. Lastly, a method of calibration must be evaluated and selected in order to convert arbitrary units found in flow cytometry to standardized units of measurement for comparison across orthogonal methods.

During this presentation we will present a new hardware based approach fueled by intentional design meant to mitigate the challenges with commercially available instruments. A built-for-purpose analyzer paired with workflow ergonomics and accessibility will give researchers the tool they need to confidently interrogate submicron particles while creating standardizable data using a calibration method of their choosing.
