2 Introduction

2.1 What is the CyFlow™ Space?
The CyFlow™ Space is a fully equipped desktop Flow Cytometer (FCM). It features a
modular optical concept which allows using up to four different laser light sources and
between one and sixteen optical channels (parameters). The CyFlow™ Space allows easy
adaption of the optics to any application by simple exchange of optical filters and mirrors.
The CyFlow™ Space runs with a standard desktop PC. Data acquisition, instrument control,
and data analysis are controlled and performed by the FloMax
2.2 What are the applications for which the CyFlow™ Space can be
used?
Together with the software, the CyFlow™ Space offers automation for routine use and
flexibility for research use for practically any flow cytometric application. The applications
cover e.g.:
Research based Immunophenotyping and other Blood Cell Analysis
Cell Counting / Rare Event Analysis
Cell cycle and cell proliferation Analysis
Detection and Analysis of Microorganisms and Viruses
Analysis of Environmental Samples
Fermentation Control
Particle Size and Fluorescence Distribution Analysis

2.3 What topics are covered by this manual?

The CyFlow™ Space Instrument Operating Manual covers the basic operation and
maintenance of the CyFlow™ Space instrument. This manual does not cover details related
to the software. Different software operating manuals are available.
