Sysmex CyFlow RI-300
The CyFlow RI-300 is a compact benchtop flow cytometer for microbial analyses, fermentation control, research purposes, particle analysis, and cell concentration reporting. It features a standardized laser configuration system as an optimal solution for dedicated industrial applications. Easy-to-use software for instrument control, data acquisition, and real-time data analysis allow the CyFlow RI-300 to be utilized by users who are not experts in either microbiology or flow cytometry. Repeatable results between users keep results consistent, and the option to configure the system with an autoloader can greatly increase testing capacity. The ability to detect all cells in a sample, including viable but non-culturable (VBNC) cells, within minutes instead of days or weeks can greatly improve lab efficiency and streamline microbial analysis requirements.
Key Features
Accuracy
- Reproducible results that are not dependent on user-defined testing conditions.
- True Volumetric Absolute Counting (TVAC) displays particle concentrations without the need for reference beads.
- Able to detect viable but non-culturable (VBNC) microorganisms missed by traditional plating methods.
Simplicity
- Operating the CyFlow RI-300 requires neither microbiology expertise nor flow cytometry experience.
- Automated report generation for quality control and analyses.
Efficiency
- Replaces labor-intense, time-consuming tasks with a more efficient and resource-saving automated process.
- Microbial counts are obtained within minutes instead of days.
- Saves up to 55% of the costs compared to plating, without the need to be an expert.
- An optional autoloader for the CyFlow RI-300 allows automated sample processing.
