Beckman Coulter Life Sciences has announced the launch of its highly anticipated CytoFLEX SRT Benchtop Sorter-- the CytoFLEX that sorts, and features expanded laser and colour options for use in labs of all sizes.

This new addition to the CytoFLEX platform builds on the principles of the CytoFLEX, which make multicolour applications accessible. The software experience will be very familiar, further increasing the ease-of-use right out of the box. It now boasts new technologies to automate and simplify sort setup and stream maintenance, bringing the power of single-cell analysis to more laboratories.

Dr Mario Koksch, Vice President and General Manager, Flow Cytometry business unit, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences said, "We take an individual approach to each lab, which is why we designed the CytoFLEX SRT to have the option for additional lasers and detectors activated when those customer needs arise."

The CytoFLEX SRT is Beckman Coulter’s first benchtop cell sorter and offers up to four lasers and 17 detection channels to help accelerate answers in genomics and immunophenotyping workflows. First-time users praise the hassle-free experience and immediate convenience.

CytExpert SRT software increases automation while requiring less supervision for both routine and complex samples. As social distancing continues, the ability to free up lab staff while requiring minimal training to use the instrument is further applauded by users.

Pavel Lorenzo, Senior Engineer in Service and Support, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences said, "In this project we have emphasised reliability and serviceability while also building in special tools to allow us to quickly isolate a problem and get to a solution."

The CytoFLEX SRT joins the CytoFLEX, CytoFLEX S, and CytoFLEX LX benchtop Flow Cytometers by Beckman Coulter Life Sciences.
