Introduction
The ORFLO Moxi Flow
TM
is a portable, micro-flow cytometer that utilizes a disposable, thin-film
cassette and a combination of a 532nm laser, precision optics, 590/40nm filter set,
photomultiplier tube (PMT) analog and digital hardware, and proprietary software to perform
automated particle counting and analysis functions. It combines the gold standard Coulter
Principle with micro-flow cytometry to deliver highly accurate and repeatable results in less than
10 seconds per test.
The Moxi Flow
TM
performs very accurate cell counts and quantitative assessments of cell
viability, apoptosis, and other labeled antibody markers. The system is portable making it ideal
for use in a hood or multiple lab locations. Test results are displayed in the form of histograms
and scatter plots. The Moxi Flow
TM
can store up to 16Mb of data and, if desired, the data may
be downloaded to a PC or Mac via USB connectivity.
The system is intended for research use only and has been tested with cell types that are
representative of those commonly used. It is not intended for use in medical diagnostic
procedures.
