Basics 

What is the Partec CyFlow

®

 Cube? 

The Partec CyFlow

®

 Cube is a fully equipped desktop Flow Cytometer (FCM). CyFlow

®

 Cube features a 

modular optical concept. This allows using different lasers as light sources and the detection of up to 8 
optical channels (parameters). The CyFlow

®

 Cube allows easy optimization of the optics for any application 

by simple exchange of optical filters and mirrors. The CyFlow

®

 Cube runs with an internal PC. Data 

acquisition, instrument control, and data analysis are controlled and performed by the CyView

™

 software. 

What are the applications for which the CyFlow

® 

Cube can be used? 

Together with the software, the CyFlow

®

 Cube offers automation for routine use and flexibility for research 

use for practically any flow cytometric application. The applications cover: 

  Routine multi-colour immuno-phenotyping 

  Blood Cell Analysis/HIV monitoring (e.g. CD4 cell count) 

  Leukocyte Counting/Rare Event Analysis 

  Microorganism Analysis 

  Fermentation Control 

  Particle Concentration Analysis 

  True Volumetric Absolute Counting 

  Particle Size and Fluorescence Distribution Analysis 

What are topics covered by this manual? 

The CyFlow

®

 Cube Instrument Operating Manual covers the basic operation and maintenance of the 

CyFlow

®

 Cube instrument. This manual also covers details related to the software. 

What other manuals are available? 

Application Notes and Service Manuals are available to get started. They contain hints to achieve the 
best results. 

What should I know before operating the CyFlow

®

 Cube? 

This manual assumes that you have basic knowledge on flow cytometry. In the best case a well 
experienced "flower" is around - so let her/him help you. Basic books are available about flow cytometry 
which may help you as well (e.g. Howard M. Shapiro, Practical Flow Cytometry. Wiley 2002).
