Beckman Coulter Kaluza 1.1 flow cytometry software

Click2Contact

Kaluza 1.1 flow cytometry analysis software processes multicolour files of up to 10 million events in real time and offers an analytical speed that is dramatically faster than the previous version. It is claimed to be several hundred times faster than other commercially available software and the NVIDIA Tesla Supercomputer option is also available.

Researchers investigating stem cell differentiation, cell signalling and circulating tumour cells are applying technologies such as cell sorting, high-complexity flow analysis and imaging to gain deeper insights into the biology of cells. The software analyses data from a variety of platforms, including MoFlo Series sorters, CyAn ADP and Gallios flow cytometry analysers, and systems such as the iCys and the iCyte automated imaging cytometers.

The version is claimed to be the first software to be offered in a variety of translations. Downloadable language packs for Japanese and simplified Chinese are now available on www.kaluzasoftware.com.

With researchers in the areas of regulatory T cells, NK cell subpopulations, and mesenchymal stem cells focused on the analysis of the differentiation stage and on the function of very small subpopulations of cells, data files of several million events or more are required for statistically significant results. The software enables researchers in these areas to run their high-content flow cytometry files in real time.

The software is for research use only and is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit) operating systems. The software loads files that are compliant with Flow Cytometry Standards 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 and is offered for both networked and stand-alone computers.
