Open Software Modules For Assays Up To 2 Colors
The Cytek Muse Micro cell analyzer includes two open software modules, allowing the user to run 2-color assays. The open modules provide flexibility to acquire 2-color (yellow and red fluorescence) experiments while still maintaining the simplicity of a guided software interface. Using the open modules, the system can be applied to a variety of extended analyses such as extracellular marker detection, intracellular marker detection, and the characterization and transfection efficiency of red fluorescent proteins.
User-Defined Assays With Cytek® InCyte™ Software For Up To Five Parameters
The InCyte analysis software for the Cytek Muse Micro cell analyzer supports simultaneous evaluation of multiple cell health and marker parameters, including studies of green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression. InCyte software enables human or mouse immunophenotyping with forward and side scatter alongside three fluorescent channels, providing percentage and absolute counts without additional beads. Side scatter integration enhances cell cycle analysis and improves discrimination of doublets and debris, particularly important for smaller samples. The software also allows open analysis of up to five parameters, offering users greater flexibility and control.
Accurate Cell Concentrations
The Cytek Muse Micro cell analyzer counts cells more accurately than a manual hemocytometer or image-based automated analysis. Manual counting using a hemocytometer is subject to human error, inconsistencies in sample handling, and counting variability, leading to less reliable results.
Accurate Results
The Cytek Muse Micro cell analyzer provides more precise cell counts and viability measurements, offering smaller coefficients of variation (%CV) compared to manual hemocytometry or image-based automated analysis. In contrast, trypan blue-based methods, especially at lower cell concentrations, tend to show higher %CVs.
| Analysis | Cell Concentration | Visibility | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average %CV | %CV Range | Average %CV | %CV Range | |
| Image-Based Automated Counter | 9.2% | 1.2%-23.3% | 3.7% | 0.8%-12.1% |
| Manual Hemocytometer | 9.2% | 6.3% | 4.5% | 0.5%-9.2% |
| Cytek Muse Micro Cell Analyzer | 4.0% | 0.3%-8.8% | 2.2% | 0.4%-5.6% |
Expanded Range Of Assays
Example experiments performed using the Cytek Muse Micro system:
A) GFP BrightComp eBeads™ compensation beads were evaluated using InCyte software, demonstrating capability for detecting wide range of green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression. B) GFP expression was evaluated using THP1-ASC-GFP cell line in resting cells (grey) and cells primed with LPS (green). C) Jurkat cells were stained with isotype IgG1 PE and CD45 PE antibodies at low and high concentrations and acquired in Open Module Yellow. D) Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stained with CD3 PE-CY5, CD4 PE, and CD8 FITC conjugated antibodies and analyzed using InCyte software.
Cytek Muse Micro Cell Analyzer: Kits & Reagents
For the assays you rely on most, we’ve developed optimized kits, validated for robust performance on the Cytek Muse Micro cell analyzer. Typical cell preparation protocols have been condensed and simplified, so sample preparation is fast and easy. You don’t need to optimize any software settings — the Cytek Muse Micro instrument calculates all gating parameters and thresholds for you. Spend less time with experimental setup, avoid reagent waste, and save money.
