The CytoFLEX nano Flow Cytometer is the first purpose-built nanoscale flow cytometer capable of detecting and characterising nanoparticles as small as 40 nm*. It opens up new opportunities in extracellular vesicle (EV) research with outstanding scatter and fluorescence sensitivity, enabling single-particle resolution of heterogeneous EV populations. With simultaneous acquisition across 6 fluorescence, 5 side scatter, and 1 forward scatter channel, the CytoFLEX nano offers a unique and powerful solution for EV phenotyping, cargo analysis, and size-based particle discrimination, all in a compact benchtop footprint.
This platform integrates advanced fluidics, optics, and software to deliver reproducible, high-resolution data while minimising contamination and reducing user intervention. Users benefit from consistent, automated quality control, volumetric counting, and expert application support, making the CytoFLEX nano an unmatched tool for small particle analysis.
