I don't run a lab any more but if I did I'd definitely want a Quanteon in it!
Application Area: Immuno-oncology, antigen-driven cell proliferation
"We had a chance to try out this instrument as part of our workshop on cell tracking and cell functional assays at the 42nd and 43rd Annual Courses in Research Applications of Cytometry (Bowdoin and Madison). Flexibility of optical configuration, wide dynamic range, and ability to independently adjust settings of up to 4 different detectors in a shared spectral window were perfect for applications in which we needed to match multicolor immunofluorescence (including several low-expression antigens) with extremely bright proliferation dyes to analyze differential proliferative responses based on dye dilution. Technical support personnel were extremely knowledgeable and helpful before, during and after the workshop."

Reliable, powerful and easy to use!
Application Area:Cancer and immunology
"We have had the Quanteon for more than 7 months now. Daily maintenance is straightforward and easy, passing the validation every day with no drama! Users found the software easy to learn and to set up new experiments. Change between the tube mode and plate mode is simply done by choosing the right button within the software, so no tricky fiddling for loading station or sample line. The instrument was ready to use after weeks of COVID-19 lockdown, after the simple routine startup, with no extra clean or alignment, which is impressive!"

Great choice for an instrument that will be shared by beginners and advanced users.
Application Area:Immunophenotyping
"We have had a NovoCyte 3000 for a couple of years and it is a high quality, solid instrument and ACEA’s customer support is among the best I’ve seen in the industry. Therefore, when we had the opportunity to get a more advanced instrument, the Quanteon naturally came to mind. There are several advantages to the Quanteon over the NovoCyte 3000. 1. While the NovoCyte has eight shared PMTs theoretically allowing for up to 13 colors, the Quanteon has 25 independent Silicon Photo Multipliers (each SiPM is essentially an array of APDs acting in unison) which are more sensitive than PMTs. Independent detectors add flexibility for more advanced users. 2. The NovoCyte has 3 lasers, with the Quanteon having 4 more powerful lasers which both adds to sensitivity and ease of panel design. 3. The NovoCyte has 0.2 μm. resolution, the Quanteon pushes this down to 0.1 μm. The greatest thing about the Quanteon, is that if you already know how to use the NovoCyte, the software is the same user-friendly and powerful NovoExpress that you are accustomed to. I have trained 3 undergraduates (one a second semester freshman) to independently operate the Quanteon in the first few months we owned it. As far as customer service, everyone I’ve encountered at ACEA is top drawer. Excellent. I once observed one of their team members, Heather Paich, “triple hat” as a salesperson, engineer, and applications specialist in the span of about 4 hours. It was impressive. I forgot to mention the autosampler – the best I’ve ever seen."

Easy to use. Saves time. Excellent sensitivity. "Walk-away" design.
Application Area:Characterizing Novel Protein
"As someone who has demoed NovoCyte Quanteon Flow Cytometer, I have found that the product is built with the user in mind. The device has a wider (7.2 log) dynamic range for detecting signals compared to competitors. Another pro is that there is direct abs"

Overall, the Novocyte is a very good cytometer and we could not be happier with it.
Application Area:Phenotype and functional analysis of immune cells
"We have had the Novocyte for over two years and have used it almost every workday. The Novocyte is very user-friendly and has multiple fantastic features, such as a wider dynamic range for detecting signals meaning no need to adjust PMT voltage. This feature makes the data acquisition extremely simple, especially for new users. Consequentially, this leads to a reduction in training time and potential beginner’s mistakes. The Novocyte has an accurate volumetric-based cell counting system that performs direct absolute cell counting during data acquisition without the need for reference counting beads or extra steps. The NovoExpress software is straight forward and easy to use for sample acquisition and analysis. Samples can be analyzed with the same setting by a simple drag-and drop function, making the process of data analysis quick and efficient. Additionally, the report function available to users on the NovoExpress software can generate PDF reports with one click, making the data sharing simple. In addition to the above features, I have been very impressed with ACEA’s excellent technical support. Our company has called technical support a couple of times during the past two years for various minor maintenance issues. They answered our calls immediately and when they have decided to have an on-site visit, they showed up at their earliest convenience—even as quick as 30 minutes on occasion! Specifically, Joe has done an exceptional job helping us fix our various maintenance issues. He knows the instrument well and has even offered useful suggestions to help us prevent future problems."
As a leading innovator in Flow Cytometry, ACEA Biosciences now provides the most advanced benchtop flow cytometer on the market. With 4 lasers, 25 colors, and 25 independent, highly sensitive detectors, the new NovoCyte Quanteon™ easily accommodates the large, multi-color panels found in today’s highly progressive flow cytometry laboratories. Yet, with a number of key features such as auto compensation, as well as fixed and flexible signal collection options, the system is remarkably easy to set up for users of all levels and experience.
The NovoSampler Q™, which can be integrated into different laboratory automation platforms, efficiently processes both FACS tubes (using a 40-tube rack) and 24-, 48-, 96-, and 384-well plates. The intuitive and industry leading NovoExpress® software has been further advanced, providing an exceptional user experience in data acquisition, analysis and reporting.
