"ACIS’ FLOWCYTE flow cytometer has several novel features which will make this instrument valuable to both clinical and basic researchers. Notable features include its small footprint and modular design in a system which offers multiple lasers, 8 or more fluorescent parameters, and infinitely adjustable fluidics. ACIS' proprietary and patent pending fiber/diffraction collection system is compact and eliminates most filters and many alignment issues adding to the systems robustness.”
