ZE5 Cell Analyzer 5 laser (355/405/488/561/640 nm)
ZE5 Cell Analyzer; flow cytometer with 355 nm, 405 nm, 488 nm, 561 nm, and 640 nm lasers, 27 fluorescence detectors, plus SSC, dual FSC, Everest software, flexible sample loader, ZE5 EYE, integrated fluidics
Analysis of cells
Bio-Rad's ZE5 is a machine that might not be used to its full capacity initially, but having the ability to grow, add stains, add cell types, add colors, etc. makes it worth its weight. We've added multiple panels since purchasing this machine. The software is fairly intuitive and easy to use making it easy to train new users.

The ZE5 Cell Analyzer is an innovative new flow cytometer with flexible configurations designed to meet a broad range of experimental complexities and throughput needs.
- Can handle a range of workflows— from low-complexity to high-complexity experiments (up to 30-parameters)
- Accessible to novice flow cytometry users, yet flexible enough for the most experienced flow cytometry professionals
Design features allow for continuous operation and maximum instrument running time in a busy core lab:
- On-board fluidics, cleaner and QC beads
- Fluid and reagent hot swap capability
- Automated startup and QC
The fully integrated sample loader handles tubes or plates without an instrument hardware change, for true walk-away functionality:
- Sample agitation and temperature control
- Microplate handling (up to 384-well plates)
- 40-tube rack for 5 ml tube loading (12 x 75 mm tubes)
- 24-tube rack for 1.5 and 2 ml tube loading
- Stat tube position for single-tube loading (5 ml tube)
Equipped with 5 spatially separated, excitation lasers:
- 355 nm (UV)
- 405 nm (violet)
- 488 nm (blue)
- 561 nm (yellow-green)
- 640 nm (red)
