EPICS ALTRA Flow Cytometer - Easy and Flexible Operation

EPICS ALTRA Flow Cytometer from Beckman Coulter redefines the standards of flow-cytometric analysis. It offers easy and flexible operation for high speed cell sorting. This instrument is a powerful tool for conducting innovative research in cell physiology, immunobiology, molecular biology, genetics, water quality and plant physiology. This unique XL cytometer is the only one that offers state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for reliable linearity and drift-free amplification and compensation. Its applications include multiparametric DNA analysis, platelet studies, reticulocyte enumeration, and cell biology/functional studies.

Capabilities of the Beckman Coulter EPICS Altra

As the EPICS Altra comes with a single laser design, it eliminates concerns about multi-beam stability, signal delay and alignment. Important capabilities include:

• Can analyze up to 4 colors of immunofluorescence from a single air cooled laser


• Offers eight sort modes


• Allows high-resolution SortSense™ analysis and sorting


• Has a user-configurable optical design


• Offers advanced Digital Signal Processing (DSP) for reliable linearity and drift-free amplification and compensation


• Achieves compensation by a unique digital compensation matrix


• Time-of-flight and PRISM parameters

This flow cytometer comes with an ergonomic design to expedite sample throughput. It comes with EXPO Software for instrument control, data acquisition and analysis in a Windows 95 environment. It is self-contained and biohazard safe. The user can retain the flexibility to change filter elements to meet the varied requirements of research settings.

Purchase a Cost Effective Recertified Device

As with all Beckman Coulter lab solutions, this XL cytometer ensures the delivery of more timely, accurate and reliable patient test results. One of the greatest advantages is that this model is now available recertified. Your lab can manage its operations even more efficiently and cost-effectively by going in for a recertified device. It is important that the equipment is purchased from an established lab equipment dealer. Reliable dealers purchase used models and efficiently refurbish them before offer them for sale. The equipment is thoroughly inspected by factory trained experts to ensure that it meets original safety standards. You can buy a product that is recertified with 90 day parts warranty and service contracts. Reagents, controls, and consumables are also usually available with the dealer.

The most convenient way to purchase laboratory equipment is through an online store. This will help to compare cost and features of products offered by different suppliers and get the product at reasonable rates. Choose an online store that offers convenient and prompt shipping, and safe payment options.
