The CyFlow® Cube 8 is a compact flow cytometer for the analysis of single cells and microscopic particles with a high grade of integration. The CyFlow® Cube 8 offers the unique combination of a truly stand-alone system of a small footprint with a modular configuration concept with up to 6 colours. The easy-to-use CyFlow™ software provides control of the instrument, data acquisition, analysis and storage. The possibility of customised instrument settings facilitates switching between different applications.

CyFlow® Cube 8 offers True Volumetric Absolute Counting (TVAC), which allows the display of particle concentrations for any subsets of cells without the need for reference beads, even if defined by a gate at a later time after the acquisition.

• Optional CyFlow® Robby 8 Autoloading Station for well plates and tubes
• Optional CyFlow® Sorter for closed, non-destructive cell and particle sorting with high purity

The newly designed, intuitive CyFlow™ acquisition and analysis software offers the measurement of millions of cells at your fingertips.

• Quickly choose your plots for analysis from all of the combinations shown in Preview Mode.
• Easily compare plots with the Overlay Wizard, for single or dual parameters.
• Share and customise your results within your research organisation with the Report Generator.
• Change your view with Zoom and V-Log Scale; you are even able to gate in Zoom Mode.
• Compensate rapidly with the Compensation Wizard.
• CyFlow™ optimally supports the True Volumetric Absolute Counting of the CyFlow® Cube 8, displaying particle concentrations for any subsets of cells, even if defined by a gate at a later time after the acquisition.
