Flat-top lasersSheathTechnologyWith acoustic-assisted hydrodynamicfocusing, the Attune NxT FlowCytometer (Figure 1) avoidscompromise between data quality andhigher sample rates by uncouplingcell alignment from sheath flow.Acoustic-assisted hydrodynamicfocusing precisely aligns cells usingultrasonic radiation pressure ( 2 MHz)to transport particles into the center ofthe sample stream. This prefocusedstream is then injected into the sheathstream (Figure 2). This results in anarrow particle stream and uniformlaser illumination, regardless of thesample input rate.AcousticfieldAcoustic-assistedhydrodynamic focusingFigure 2. Acoustic focusing vs. traditional hydrodynamic focusing as particles pass throughthe laser. (A) In acoustic focusing, cells remain in tight alignment even at higher sample rates,resulting in less signal variation and improved data quality. (B) In traditional hydrodynamic focusing,increasing the sample rate results in widening of the sample core stream, resulting in increasedsignal variation and compromised data quality.4

Reduce clogging from difficult samplesYour research samples are precious as they are oftendifficult to produce. The Attune NxT Flow Cytometer is lessprone to clogging, allowing challenging samples such ascardiomyocytes, heterogeneous blood cells, and cancercells to flow with confidence.TechnologyEngineered to actively resist clogging, a syringe-drivensystem (Figure 8) and larger flow cell help prevent theloss of precious sample such as cancer stem cells fromprimary pancreatic tumors (Figure 9), and is drasticallyless susceptible to clogs. The Attune NxT Flow Cytometeremploys a non-pressurized system that mechanicallydecreases the occurrence of clogging.Benefits Easy flow of difficult samples such as large or sticky cells Sample recovery feature built into software Comparatively lower fluid consumption ( 1.8 L/day)Focusing fluidreservoirValve1 mL samplesyringeFigure 8.

Of course, the acoustictechnology greatly facilitates the identification of smallpopulations, like cancer stem cells, increasing ourcapacity to detect and quantify these rare events withhigh efficiency and reliability.”– Bruno Sainz Jr, PhDAutónoma University of Madrid, School of Medicine

Forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) analysis with blue (488 nm) and violet (405 nm) lasers on intact whole blood (no-lyse,no-wash). (A, B) RBCs, white blood cells (WBCs), and platelets are separated on the basis of light scatter only by using a combination of blue andviolet laser SSC analysis. Hemoglobin in RBCs readily absorbs light at 405 nm, shifting the RBC population to the right by reducing the SSC for RBCsin the violet laser channel relative to leukocytes and platelets. Dual FSC and SSC threshold is set low enough to show instrument noise, ensuringthe full platelet population is visualized. (C) Using the gate that includes WBCs and platelets, a standard plot of FSC vs. 488 nm SSC can be usedto distinguish the platelet population from the WBCs with regions created around the two populations. (D) Using color-backgating on plot (A), theRBC population is colored red, the platelet population is colored green, and the WBC population is colored blue, while the noise is black. The threemain WBC populations of lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes can be distinguished. (E) Placing regions around the RBC, WBC, and plateletpopulations show the dominant cell type in whole blood is the RBC, while the WBCs and platelets are relatively rare events.11
Precision optical performanceMinimize instrument downtime with the Attune NxT opticalsystem.

Emission profiles of lasers used in flow cytometers.(A) Gaussian laser profile with proper alignment, (B) Gaussian laserprofile with misalignment, (C) flat-top laser profile with proper alignment,and (D) flat-top laser profile still in proper alignment.12TechnologyThe Attune NxT Flow Cytometer uses flat-top lasers withan intensity profile that allows a much wider window ofalignment (Figure 12). This innovative design helps ensureprecise fixed alignment of 4 spatially separated solid-statelasers onto the sample stream (Figure 13), minimizing theeffects of changes in fluidics or optics. The stability of theoptical system leads to increased data consistency overtime, superior performance, and first-class reliability.Figure 13. The Attune NxT Flow Cytometer can be configured withup to 4 spatially separated lasers.

Consistent results are achievable regardless of sampling method. Whole blood lysed with ammonium chloride was labeled withInvitrogen mouse anti–human CD45 Pacific Orange , mouse anti–human CD4 FITC, and mouse anti–human CD8 R-PE antibody conjugates. Labeledsamples were analyzed on a blue and violet laser–configured Attune NxT Flow Cytometer equipped with a 488 nm laser for fluorescence excitation ofFITC (530 BP) and R-PE (574/24 BP), and a 405 nm laser for Pacific Orange dye (603/48 LP). Identical samples, including compensation controls, wereanalyzed using either (A) tube mode or (B) plate mode with a standard collection rate of 200 μL/min. Lymphocytes were gated using a CD45 vs. sidescatter plot and analyzed for expression of CD4 and CD8 antigens. Minimal variation was observed between analysis in a tube alone and on a platerunning on the Attune NxT Autosampler.ABFigure 15. Consistent well-to-well results: the Attune NxT Autosampler heat-map function identifies variation within a parameter across a96-well plate. Live and heat-killed THP-1 cells were stained with 2 μg/mL propidium iodide, dispensed into a 96-well V-bottom plate, and run at astandard collection rate of 500 μL/min with 2 mix cycles per well and 2 rinse cycles between wells. Propidium iodide was excited using a 488 nm laser(640 LP). (A) On the heat map, a color gradient graphically represents the percentage of propidium iodide–positive cells (dead cells). Red-coloredwells indicate 0% propidium iodide–positive cells (live cells) within the sample analyzed from that well; magenta-colored wells indicate a samplecontaining 100% propidium iodide–positive cells. (B) The values overlaid on each well in the heat map are the measured percentages of dead cells inthe individual wells. Minimal variation is observed in propidium iodide fluorescence across each row of the entire plate, with a CV of 1.44% for the entiredata set (96 wells).15
