From the winners: “With a high-speed brightfield camera that records images of individual events as they pass through the flow cell, Attune CytPix helps to ensure the events are single cells. This is useful in almost any flow cytometry experiment to help researchers understand the morphology of each cell population and crucial in cell and gene therapy research.”
“Early voice of customer studies performed by the Attune CytPix Flow Cytometer project team indicated that most users were performing imaging assays in parallel with their flow cytometry experiments. They were not utilizing standard imaging flow cytometry technology as they found it slow and complex. Introducing Attune CytPix allows our users to collect high-performance fluorescent flow cytometry data from cells while simultaneously capturing high resolution brightfield images, allowing users to match images with their flow cytometry data to better understand the morphology and quality of the cells.”
“As samples are acquired on the Attune CytPix Flow Cytometer, the high-speed camera captures and stores images of a sampling of events. For greater flexibility, Attune Cytometric Software lets you adjust the image capture frequency as needed, and can capture up to 6,000 images per second depending on the flow rate and image size. Acoustic focusing helps to position the cells so that a sharp image is obtained. Additionally, the ACS software now enables measurement of 26 morphological parameters, providing accurate, analyzed imaging data in addition to analyzed flow cytometry data.”
