ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 7, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuri Cytometers, Inc. today announced the commercial launch of the Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer(TM) System, designed to bring the power of flow cytometry cell analysis to the laboratory of every life sciences researcher. The Accuri C6 is a bench-top system that delivers performance and features similar to those of the market-leading flow cytometers, yet it is easy even for novice users to set up and operate. The radical redesign that produced the Accuri C6 has also made possible a dramatic reduction in price-with the system selling for a fraction of the cost of most flow cytometers.

"The commercial availability of the Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer System is potentially transformative, since researchers increasingly rely on data that only flow cytometry can provide, yet most scientists currently lack routine access to this technology," said Dr. Larry A. Sklar, professor of pathology at the University of New Mexico Medical School and head of the National Institutes of Health-funded Molecular Libraries Screening Center. "The availability of easy-to-use, high-quality flow cytometers at the researcher's bench should enable far greater use of flow cytometry, resulting in many new applications for biomedical research."

The Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer System is a full-featured, two-laser, six-detector analytical system that includes the C6 Flow Cytometer, CFlow Software and a PC. The C6 Flow Cytometer System has detectors to capture both forward and side-scattered light, as well as four fluorescent detectors equipped with user-replaceable optical filters. The operating software is designed to
