Exosomes? Virus? Nanoparticle? Use multiple lasers for complete, detailed analysis of all the particles in your sample.

Exosomes, viruses, and nanoparticles all have wide size distributions which defeat traditional Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) analyzers. The ViewSizer 3000 features simultaneous measurement with three lasers to collect the most accurate distribution and concentration information over a wide range of sizes within the same sample. Where the signal from a particle is too bright and saturates the detector from one laser, the software automatically uses data from a lower power laser to ensure the most accurate size and concentration information. On the other hand, when scattering from one laser is too weak for detection, the software uses data from a higher power laser to accurately track the particle.

Cross contamination is a concern in all analyses. Simplified cleaning means thorough cleaning. The easy-to-remove sample cells can be dissassembled for rapid, thorough cleaning, which leads to better data.

Gold Standard Automated Cell Counter, Cell Size, and Viability

The Orflo Moxi V is your top choice for an Automated Cell Counter due to its exceptional accuracy and efficiency. Utilising Coulter Principle and fluorescence-based technology, it provides precise, reliable results quickly. Its user-friendly interface and high-throughput capability streamline operations, making it ideal for research. With its compact design and robust performance, the Moxi V ensures consistent, high-quality cell analysis, making it a valuable addition to any laboratory.

  • Overview

    The Moxi V Automated Cell Counter provides a combination of volumetric cell sizing (Particle Sizer) with simultaneous fluorescence (Cell Analyzer) to provide the most accurate cell counts, size, and viability in the industry. Specifically, the Moxi V employs the Coulter Principle to precisely measure the volumetric particle size of each particle for exact size measurements down to 3um in diameter (14fL volume), easily distinguishing between cells and debris. The system is also equipped with a 532nm laser and a 561nm/LP detection channel for robust cell viability analysis. Propidium Iodide (PI)-stained dead cells measure 50-100 times brighter fluorescence on the system than do live cells, removing the ambiguity associated with traditional Trypan Blue viability assessments. For each test, these size and viability measurements are applied, individually, to up to 23,000 cells in a matter of a few seconds. This ensures the highest level of precision and statistical robustness. As the fluidic volume is precisely metered as well, the particle counts are presented as an exact cell concentration.

    The Moxi V employs a patented, single-use, microfluidic flow cell. The flow cells eliminate the hassle of traditional Cell Analyzers and Coulter Counters, eliminating the need for cleaning, maintenance, clearing of clogs, cross contamination and occasionally replacement of bottles and tubes. The Moxi V uses very little sample volume, 60ul, allowing you to conserve your precious, potentially expensive, sample (e.g. stem cells). Cell concentrations as low as 10 cells/ul are possible, typically requiring just 5ul of cell sample diluted in 55ul of PBS.

    The Moxi V™ system comes standard with an ultra-intuitive, plug-and-play interface with free OS updates for as long as you own the instrument. No prior Cell Analysis experience is required – you simply just plug and play.

    Some Key Features of the Moxi V include:
    • True Cell Viability Counts – 50-100x more sensitive than vision counters.
    • Precision Sizing – Uses the Coulter Principle to get precise cell volumes with CVs less than 3% and no need for triplicates.
    • Highly Accurate – Accurate counts for smaller cells down to 3um (i.e. nuclei, RBCs). Uniquely accurate at low cell concentrations down to 10 cells per ul.
    • Rapid Assays – Offers a less than 15 second test that counts up to 23,000 cells compared to 200-300 counts on most vision counters.

  • How it works

    The operating principle behind the Moxi V is a unique combination of Coulter-Principle cell size determination with simultaneous fluorescence detection. As cells flow single file through the microfabricated single-use flow cell the volume of each particle is measured at the exact same time as their primary fluorescence is measured using a 532nm solid state diode laser with a 561nm/LP (e.g. PI) emission filter. Thousands of cells are measured in the 10 second read time and the data are plotted in a gradient density scatter plot as Cell size (volume) vs. Fluorescence (PMT voltage). Gating is automatically performed by the system but can be easily adjusted/tuned by the user. The resulting live/dead ratios are automatically calculated (depending on the app selected). The analyzed data can also be displayed as a two color size histogram. Total volumetric cell counts are automatically determined for each test by precisely measuring the volume of fluid being analysed.

    Step 1:
    Select desired app, insert the cassette and close the doors.

    Step 2:
    Once auto-alignment is complete, open the top door and pipette 60μl of labelled sample into the cassette.
    Step 3:
    Close the top door, assays run automatically and results are generated in ~10 seconds. Note: Each cassette holds 2 tests. When Sample 1 is complete, simply re-insert other end of cassette into Moxi V, and load Sample 2.
    Data

    Data can be displayed on the unit in both a color density scatter plot and a two color size histogram. Simply drag gates using the intuitive touch display for instant live/dead ratio calculations and each of the gated volumetric cell counts (i.e., total population, live population, and dead population (Viability App). The mean cell volume for the gated populations is also automatically displayed on the unit. Results from each test are stored in the standard FCS 3:1 format and can be viewed using any Cell Analysis package. The actual Moxi V screenshots from each assay (dot plots and histograms) are also stored in bitmap format for use online. Hundreds of files can be stored on each Moxi V and are easily transferred to a Mac or PC using USB on-the-go. No aditional software is required.

MOXI Z Mini Automated Cell Counter Kit – Coulter Principle Counts and Sizing. 

The Orflo Moxi Z offers precise cell counting through its advanced Coulter Principle technology and fluorescence-based viability analysis. Its user-friendly interface ensures quick and accurate measurements, making it ideal for research and clinical settings, enhancing cell analysis efficiency with reliable, reproducible results for various applications.

For research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

  • Overview

    Improve downstream results with better quality control.

    Moxi Z is the only automated cell counter that combines the Coulter Principle typically used in high-end cell counters with a patented thin-film sensor technology to allow for highly accurate (> 95%) and repeatable particle counting and sizing for a broad range of cell types – from mammalian cells to cells as small as wine yeast and more. Since today’s workflows demand accurate quality control of samples, determining cell counts precisely has a significant impact on outcomes and downstream costs.

    Produce repeatable, precise cell counting with >95% accuracy in just 8 seconds.

    This ultra-small instrument uses patented microfluidic thin-film cassettes that enable automatic load and measure operation. The resulting single cell volumetric measurements are completely technique-independent. It provides the ideal alternative to the tedious manual counting associated with cytometers, or the inaccurate results associated with image-based automated cell counters (typical accuracies of 75-80%).

    Assess cell culture health without reagents or dyes.

    Moxi Z also automatically reports a unique cell health assessment index – MPI (Moxi Population Index) – without the need for reagents or dyes.MPI is a ratio of the cell population of interest relative to the entire particle distribution in that sample, factoring in dead cells that have shrunken or broken apart as well as other debris and contaminants in the sample. For monodisperse mammalian cultures this is closely correlated to the overall health of the sample.In the case of mixed cell populations, it’s provides an assessment of the relative fraction of the largest sized population in the sample. Unlike staining-based viability methods that focus on the uptake by dead cells and do not account for contaminants and other debris, MPI provides insight on the primary population of interest (based on size) and its relationship to ALL other particles in the sample.

    Measure the smallest cells at very high concentrations.

    Using the new Type S cassette, you can now accurately measure the smallest cells of any automated cell counter (down to 3um average diameter) at concentrations of up to 2.5e+6/ml. This means the new Type S cassette can measure Yeast (including wine yeast) and non-spherical particles down to 14 fL in volume.

  • How it works

    Electronic current is passed through a small hole (Cell Sensing Zone) in a thin-film membrane. Cells flow substantially single file through the CSZ causing momentary increases in measured voltage that are directly proportional to cell or particle volume. Thousands of cells are measured during a single test and the size of each cell is plotted and saved in histogram format. Total volumetric counts are determined by precisely measuring the
    volume of fluid being analysed.

    Insert cassette into Moxi Z.

    Pipette 75 μL sample into cassette. Touch Screen.

    Finished! Automatic, hands-free measurement in just 8 seconds.

    Note: Each cassette holds 2 tests. When Sample 1 is complete, simply re-insert other end of cassette into MoxiZ, and load Sample 2.

    Data

    Data For each measurement, a complete histogram is displayed as well as cell count, average cell size and Moxi Population Index. The raw waveform from the most recent cell count, containing each cell spike, is also stored on the Moxi Z and can be both viewed on the Moxi Z and uploaded to the PC for additional analysis. The Moxi Z also performs sophisticated curve fitting analysis to more accurately determine cell counts in the event of overlapping populations of cells (or debris), significantly improving the accuracy of the volumetric counts produced by the Moxi Z. Data for 500 samples may be stored on the unit. All data can be transferred to a PC/Mac via Bluetooth. No special software is required for the PC since date files are Excel®-compatible. Sophisticated PC/Mac compatible analys software is included with each Moxi Z. Cell health may be assessed by comparing differences in histograms from culture to culture.
