Abstract

The innovative design of the Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer System combines usability and versatility. With Accuri's new Selectable Lasers Module, the numerous fluorophore combinations that the C6 can detect are further expanded through the use of alternative optical filters and adjustable detector-laser associations. Here we demonstrate the increased versatility by using alternative filters and selectable lasers to optimize the detection of specific fluorophore and fluorescent protein combinations.
