Sysmex cube 6/cube 8- Flow Cytometer

The Sysmex Cube 6 and Cube 8 Flow Cytometers offer precise and reliable ploidy analysis for plant breeding, aquaculture, and evolutionary biology. With advanced flow cytometry technology, including quartz flow cuvettes and up to 3 simultaneous light sources (Cube 8), these instruments deliver accurate genome size and ploidy level measurements. Equipped with a closed fluidic system, adjustable aspiration speed, and automated sample handling, these systems ensure efficient and safe operation.

Determining ploidy is a particularly important form of analysis in plant breeding and aquaculture: controlling the ploidy level is often essential for monitoring the outcome of breeding procedures and quality in seed and plant production.

As such, accurately determining genome size and ploidy levels plays a major role in today’s evolutionary biology, taxonomy and ecology. It helps to characterise and understand how species develop and the details of population structures.

Description

The Sysmex Cube 6 and Sysmex Cube 8 Flow Cytometers are cutting-edge instruments designed for high-accuracy ploidy and genome size analysis. These systems are vital tools in fields like plant breeding, aquaculture, and evolutionary biology, where controlling ploidy levels and accurately measuring genome sizes are crucial for understanding species development and population structures.

Both systems feature advanced flow cytometry technology, using a quartz flow cuvette for laminar sample transport and hydrodynamic focusing. The Cube 6 utilizes two simultaneous lasers (488 nm Blue and 638 nm Red), while the Cube 8 offers greater versatility with up to three light sources, including lasers and UV LEDs, allowing for more complex and precise analyses.

Key features include:

  • Completely closed fluidic system for enhanced safety and minimal contamination risk.

  • Sample port with biosafety cleaning system, ensuring the integrity of each sample.

  • True Volumetric Absolute Counting based on mechanical volume measurement, offering unparalleled accuracy in cell counting.

  • Adjustable aspiration speed ranging from 0.1µL to 20µL/s, catering to a wide range of sample types.

  • Liquid level sensors on waste bottles and sheath fluid, providing clear indicators for replacement and cleaning.

The Cube 6 and Cube 8 are designed to streamline your workflow, with an optional autoloader station supporting 96-well plates or 120 test tubes for high-throughput sample analysis. Whether you’re engaged in plant breeding, aquaculture, or ecological studies, these flow cytometers are the perfect tools for precise, reliable, and efficient analysis of ploidy and genome size.
