Enhanced quality and efficiency with acoustic focusing technology

Figure 1. Comparison of acoustic and traditional focusing. Unlike traditional hydrodynamic focusing (B), acoustic focusing maintains a narrow core width even at faster sample flow rates (A). This precise alignment ensures that only one cell passes through the laser at a time, eliminating the risk of overlapping signals and enhancing data accuracy.

A collection of data showcasing the exceptional performance and capabilities of Attune Xenith Flow Cytometer. This section provides valuable insights and inspiration for your own experiments, allowing you to see data generated using the Attune Xenith Flow Cytometer.

Acoustic focusing allows fast acquisition without comprising resolution

Figure 2. Immunophenotyping of mouse tissue digests using a 32-color panel. In this study, we utilized the advanced fluidics and high detection sensitivity of the Attune Xenith Flow Cytometer to conduct broad spectral unmixing immunophenotyping, with a specific focus on the development and maturation of B cells across various tissues. The instrument's clog-resistant design combined with its acoustic focusing technology allowed for rapid data acquisition without compromising the resolution of the analysis. Even at high cell concentrations of 1E7 cells/mL in mouse tissue digests, the Attune Xenith Flow Cytometer demonstrated its capability to deliver accurate and reliable results.

Rare events without sample concentration; high throughput; exceptional sensitivity for robust data resolution

Figure 3. Precision in rare event detection using a 25-color natural killer cell panel. The study utilized high sensitivity and specificity to interrogate natural killer (NK) cell populations, providing crucial insights for detailed research. Immature, mature and terminal NK populations were identified from human PBMCs, and surface marker expression of each of these subpopulations was characterized. The acquisition of rare events was achieved without the need to concentrate samples, while high sample throughput reduced time to results without compromising population resolution. The sensitivity in detection ensured robust data resolution, enabling the differentiation of even rare populations in high complexity panels. View complete data set here.

Sensitivity in detection facilitates robust data resolution to differentiate even rare populations in high-complexity panels

Figure 4. Exploration of expression profiles of NK cells across activation states. The study utilized the NK cell panel mentioned earlier to investigate the expression of surface markers before and after activation. Human NK cells were incubated with or without IL-2, IL-15, and IL-21 cytokine cocktail for a duration of 48 hours, and the antigen expression was evaluated. The Attune Xenith Flow Cytometer demonstrated strong sensitivity in detecting changes across different stimulation procedures, ensuring reliable and accurate characterization of these rare cell subsets. This highlights the potential of the panel for conducting in-depth analysis and gaining a deeper understanding of NK cell subsets.
