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.
