AQUIOS CL Flow Cytometry System

Sample preparation and data management usually are the major bottlenecks in routine flow cytometry. Even with a semi-automated process, you and your team may spend hundreds of hours per year for tasks that don‘t add to your laboratory‘s productivity.

AQUIOS CL in your lab means you can…

• Provide a 24/7 flow cytometry service as the AQUIOS CL can be run safely by less experienced operators.
• Increase productivity with high-throughput performance that eliminates many of the least efficient features of existing systems.
• Reduce the potential for user error inherent in existing systems that require numerous manual steps to set up and run.
• Allocate staff resources for maximum productivity, putting your skilled operators where you need them most.
• Reduce exposure to potentially biohazardous material such as open blood tubes.

Features

Automated Sample Preparation

• No manual pipetting of primary tubes
