Cytomation was founded in 1988 to provide upgrade systems and software for existing flow cytometers whose performance was limited by obsolete signal acquisition electronics and computers. These products evolved to challenge the performance of the latest instruments and in 1994, Cytomation completed the product line by the development of the MoFlo flow bench and optical system.
Cytomation's philosophy is to provide systems with the maximum performance possible using state-of-the-art electronics and computing. The CICERO product line is also designed to allow flow instruments built by several different manufacturers to run on common IBM compatible computer platforms with minimal differences in the standard operating procedures for each cytometer.
Cytomation is also the US distributer of the PARTEC line of flow cytometers. PARTEC offers a wide selection of systems based on arc-lamp or arc-lamp/laser configurations.
