Website allows flow cytometrists to try before they buy.
Opportunity to see how innovative software can speed the analysis of flow cytometry data.
By visiting Applied Cytometry’s newly launched web site – www.appliedcytometry.com – users of flow cytometry systems can now see for themselves how the company’s latest STarStation and VenturiOneTM software can help them streamline their procedures and explore the true potential of their data.
Furthermore, potential purchasers can use the new website to ‘try before they buy’ by requesting 30-day free trials of the company’s software, and will soon be able to order it directly, online.
By assessing an on-line video tutorial, visitors can instantly see how the innovative thinking behind STarStation V3.0 for the Luminex®’s 100™ and 200™ multiplex assay detection systems can help them speed up and improve their assay preparation by using magnetic rather than vacuum separation of the microspheres.
There are also descriptions of how VenturiOneTM allows them to analyse their data up to ten times faster and work with even the largest datasets.
The launch of the new Applied Cytometry website reflects the company’s shift in focus from being merely a supplier to a leading flow cytometer manufacturers to becoming, additionally, an innovative software developer in its own right. This new positioning, and the revised branding that accompanies this, puts Applied Cytometry at the forefront of the market for high performance flow cytometry analysis software. With VenturiOneTM, this is achieved by harnessing the company’s proprietary multicore 32- and 64-bit processor technology, which greatly reduces analysis times and speeds throughput.
Commenting on the launch of the new website and the company repositioning, Dr Tracey Long, Marketing Manager, said, “The clean and fresh format of the site allows visitors to be directed instantly to the information they require, cutting unnecessary click-throughs and streamlining their visit.”

New
STarStation v2.0 software has arrived!
More user friendly and flexible, running the
Luminex 100™ and Multiplex assays using STarStation software
has never been easier. STarStation v2.0 allows functions to be pre-programmed
so you can walk away and save more time!
Enhanced features include:
- Automated daily startup, shutdown, calibration, verification routines
- Instrument display giving visual feedback and current status of your Luminex®
- New weighted 5PL curve algorithms for greater choice and flexibility for curve fitting of standard points
- Improved plots and tool tips giving more information during acquisition
As well as unique re-analysis features to optimise
data, automatic generation of results and standard curves and import to
Excel, STarStation software gives users of xMAP technology advanced flexibility
and data analysis capabilities.
STarStation v2.0 is part of the ACS STarSystem, for
the detection of Soluble Targeted arrays using Luminex®. It is available as full System Control (aquisition
and analysis software) and off-line Analysis software for PC's. Existing Luminex
100™ instruments can also be upgraded to STarStation v2.0.

Applied Cytometry to Attend Planet xMAP 2005
Applied Cytometry plans to attend the second annual Planet xMAP Symposium
in Austin, Texas. This event will be held April 25-27, 2005 at the
Omni Austin Hotel Downtown.
This symposium is customized for end-users of the Luminex xMAP® technology,
a microsphere-based multiplexing system. This groundbreaking technology
enables companies, researchers and laboratories to perform bioassays
quickly and efficiently, while ensuring optimum accuracy. A key feature
of this robust technology is that it allows simultaneous analysis of
up to 100 analytes in a single sample. The system delivers fast and
cost-effective bioassay results in many assay formats including nucleic
acid assays, receptor-ligand assays, immunoassays and enzymatic assays.
