For a Free Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer™ System
We are excited to see flow cytometry used more broadly in the
life sciences. Towards that goal we want to 1) support new and innovative
research, and 2) help investigators expand the use of flow cytometers.
Tell us about innovative protocols or new research you would perform
if you had access to a full featured analytical flow cytometer in your
lab and you could receive an Accuri C6 Flow Cytometer™ System valued at
$25,000.
C6 Grant Application Procedure
1. Subject Matter: Accuri is particularly interested in
supporting proposals with the following characteristics:
a. Innovative or improved techniques with broad
utility in molecular and cell biology

to the flow cytometer that are currently performed using other
common analytical tools such as:
i. Microscopes
ii. Plate readers
iii. Electrophoresis
iv. PCR
c. Development of new uses for flow cytometry
made possible by the C6 Flow Cytometer System, based on its characteristics
such as:
i. Small size
ii. Portability
iii. Easy to use software interface
iv. Low cost, enabling broad distribution of instruments at multiple
research sites
2. Applications Format:
a. Microsoft Word file format
