NovoCyte - Agilent (Optical Configuration 3000)

The NovoCyte Flow Cytometer is a high-performance benchtop instrument designed for multiparametric analysis of monodisperse cell suspensions (0.2–50 μm). It enables the simultaneous evaluation of multiple single-cell properties, including surface and intracellular antigen expression, ROS production, DNA content, cell cycle, apoptosis, and cell proliferation. The system combines flexibility, sensitivity, and intuitive data acquisition and analysis through the NovoExpress software.
