Thermo Fisher Scientific CytKick Autosampler

Invitrogen™ CytKick™ Autosampler

The CytKick Autosampler is designed for use with the Attune NxT Acoustic Focusing Cytometer, enabling rapid processing of multiple samples by automatically analyzing samples from 96- and 384-well plates (standard and deep).
A computer is not included with the autosampler since one is provided with the cytometer.
For added speed and tube/plate compatibility, please see the CytKick Max Autosampler.

주요 특징

• Reliable — Intelligent probe design minimizes clogging and carryover (0.5%) and prevents instrument damage
• Mixing by aspiration — Mixing by aspiration instead of shaking ensures homogeneity and maintains cell viability
• Easy transition — No disassembly, no additional QC, no reboot required for conversion between plates and tubes
• Maximum compatibility — Supports 96- and 384-well plates (standard and deep)
• Auto-cleaning — Performs automated cleaning when the instrument shuts down

Reliable

The CytKick Autosampler minimizes system downtime with its intelligent probe design. The 200-micron diameter probe reduces clogging compared to standard probes.
Automatic self-calibration ensures consistent probe positioning, prevents crashes, and allows sharing between multiple instruments.

Maximum Compatibility

Supports various plate formats including 96-, 384-, and deep-well plates.
Automated cleaning procedures are initiated during instrument shutdown, ensuring proper maintenance with minimal user intervention.

Mixing by Aspiration

Instead of shaking, the CytKick Autosampler mixes samples by aspiration and stirring, ensuring uniform mixing and preserving sample viability.
This results in consistent data with CVs less than 10% across the plate.

Easy Transition

Manual sample probe remains accessible even when the loader is attached.
Switching between tubes and plates is automatically detected via software without user intervention.

Simple to Operate

Fluidic bottles include sensors that alert users when replacement is needed.
Indicator lights and warning systems allow easy monitoring of system status.
Attune NxT software provides intuitive plate layout views for experiment setup, compensation wells, and sample identification.
Heat map view enables rapid screening and confirmation during data acquisition.

자동 세척 기능

The autosampler performs auto-cleaning during instrument shutdown, requiring no additional user steps for maintenance.
