The Attune NxT Flow Cytometer harnesses acoustic focusing—ultrasonic standing waves within a microfluidic channel—to align and concentrate cells and particles into a single, narrow stream for optical interrogation. Compared with traditional hydrodynamic focusing, acoustic focusing reduces or eliminates the need for large volumes of sheath fluid, minimizes sample dilution, and gently positions particles at pressure nodes for more consistent signal intensity and less shear stress on fragile cells. These benefits enable higher throughput, improved reproducibility, and efficient use of small or precious samples.

With configurable lasers and detectors, the Attune NxT supports multiplexed fluorescence and scatter measurements for applications such as immunophenotyping, cell-cycle analysis, apoptosis assays, and rare-event detection. Its acoustic focusing design enables higher throughput, improved reproducibility, and efficient use of small or precious samples, making it suitable for research, clinical studies, and biomanufacturing workflows.
