Accuri Cytometers - C6®
High performance analytical cytometers that match the functionality of the best-selling analytical flow cytometers.
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.
