Attune Acoustic Focusing Cytometer

The Attune Acoustic Focusing Cytometer has been designed to use sound waves to precisely control the movement of cells. The introduction of this technology provides several benefits, including enhanced sample throughput, sensitivity and accuracy for a range of cell biology applications.

Attune enables users to gather statistical data on a large number of heterogeneous cells to study parameters within a cell population, including size, complexity, phenotype and health. Attune’s technology, which includes a violet and blue laser combination, allows scientists to achieve enhanced sensitivity, saves time by increasing throughput and can be used with small sample sizes.

In addition, it offers these enhanced capabilities at a reduced footprint, due to the compact acoustic technology and the far smaller volume of consumables required to perform an experiment. These capabilities will enable scientific applications not previously possible on traditional cytometry systems, ranging from sample preparation to bead-based analyses.
