MoFlo Astrios Cell Sorter

As of the end of 2023, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences no longer sells the MoFlo Astrios cell sorter.

Service contracts are still offered for current users, please contact your local Beckman Coulter Life Sciences representative.

Win10 upgrades for MoFlo Dell workstations also remain available.

Web resources for Astrios applications and other information remain available as a reference resource.

For your current cell sorter needs, please consider the CytoFLEX SRT, available in multiple optical configurations.

Simplify your most complex sorting tasks with the Astrios EQ Series of high-speed flow cytometry sorters. The Astrios EQ and EQs deliver powerful sorting capability while reducing complexity. 

  • Available with up to 7 spatially separated lasers and 51 parameters
  • Six-way jet-in-air proficiency
  • Dual forward scatter (EQ) and single forward scatter (EQs) models
  • Features [patent] enhanced Forward Scatter (eFSC) technology
