Accuri Cytometers C6®

C6®

Accuri C6 Flow Cytometers, CFlow® Software and Workstation PC supply all the capabilities of a full-featured flow cytometer at a fraction of the price of the market leading systems. The C6 system includes blue and red lasers, four color detectors and both forward and side scatter detectors plus software that is so intuitive that you will typically be up and running within an hour of receiving your Accuri system.

Our engineers had a daunting task-build a cytometer that is compact, simple to operate, easy to afford, and matches the performance of the best selling analytical flow cytometers. We started by listening to scientists like you and then designing a flow cytometer from the ground up incorporating your needs. We worked hard to provide the performance for most experiments, while making the C6 easier to use, simple to maintain, and affordable for everyone.

Accuri's innovations in fluidics, optics, electronics and software, coupled with state-of-the-art components, result in a cytometer that is powerful, robust, compact and affordable. We also developed an intuitive user interface that can be mastered in minutes. And we've done all of this so you can focus on one thing: advancing your science, in your lab.
