Attune® Auto Sampler, compatible with tubes, 96 /384 well plates, and deep well plates is an optional accessory to the Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer and enables the rapid processing of multiple samples.

The Attune® Acoustic Focusing Cytometer uses proprietary sound wave technology to ensure accurate alignment of cells through the laser beam.  The Attune® auto sampler enables high throughput sample processing. It is compatible with many different plate formats including tubes, 96 /384 well plates, and deep well plates.

To switch between use of the auto sampler and running individual tubes, just flip the switch. The Attune® auto sampler can be easily attached and detached from the instrument. So a single auto sampler can be shared between multiple instruments. 
Its intelligent probe leads to minimal clogging, carryover, and also prevents instrument damage. Unlike other plate loaders that mix sample by shaking, which may not ensure homogeny of the sample, the auto sampler mixes sample by aspiration to ensure uniformity of sample used for analysis.

Setting up an experiment with the Attune® Cytometric software is simple.  Using a virtual plate layout view, users can create compensation wells, define instrument settings and identify samples.  The software also allows multiple experiments to be defined on a single plate.

The software is free and downloadable online. Multiple users can access the software. No license fees or dongles are required. Its intuitive software allows quick learning and data analysis. For example, a heat map view allows rapid screening and confirmation of samples while the instrument is acquiring data. The auto sampler can also perform automated cleaning when the instrument is shutting down.
