Reflection™ Client Testimonials
“I have been very impressed with the incredible amount of forethought and elegant design built into the Reflection system. For example, the integrated biosafety environment of the Reflection is a great solution for protecting instrument operators from biohazardous aerosols. From a performance standpoint, we routinely sort cells with a target population of 0.15% and retrieve a +99% pure population sorting simultaneously on two HAPS. I strongly believe that the capabilities of the Reflection in performing rare event detection and sorting are truly unmatched.”

“The fear of being the first customer of an emerging instrument company has been offset by the integrity, experience, and work ethic of the iCyt team. After 18 months of development, I am still intensely confident that we made the right decision. Our capacity and quality needs for our research core lab or our GMP suite simply could not have been reached without these two intelligent sorting platforms, unless we were to have had twice the funding and facility space. There has also been a performance increase within individual sort modules of the Reflection beyond other cell sorters I have used in the past, so for us there have been no sacrifices.”

“We are particularly excited about the Reflection and it’s capability of performing multiple HAPS (highly automated parallel sorting) sorts. Our lab does a large amount of cell sorting, sometimes approaching 250 hours per month. A large portion of our sorting involves target cell populations of less than 2%, historically resulting in ten to twelve hour sorts. Now, we are able to sort cells from both wild-type and knock-out mice simultaneously on individual HAPS, significantly reducing the required sort time. In addition to the obvious advantages of higher throughput, there is also the added benefit of getting cells into assays faster, enhancing the chances of good viability of the samples.”

“In the decision making process to purchase a cell sorter, I was immediately attracted to the iCyt Reflection. The Reflection was designed from the ground up to be BSL-2+ compliant, with the business end of the sorter residing in a state-of-the-art hood. Unlike competing instruments, only the components that must be isolated are inside the hood, while other components remain freely accessible. The iCyt Reflection also superbly fit our needs for 6laser excitation flexibility, laser sharing to reduce cost, and parallel sort processing to increase productivity while requiring little additional space.”
