With clinical flow cytometry labs facing increasingly complex tests and a growing volume of requisitions, the need to automate sample preparation is critical.
Our sample preparation stations can help you increase productivity, decrease the potential of costly errors associated with manual procedures, and automate tasks such as pipetting and data processing.
Nizon Cell Washer
This cell washer is an automated sample preparation device for lysis and separation (wash) of the liquid phase of blood, the solid phase for cytometric determination of marked cells.
Up to 32 specimen tubes can be accommodated and processed in two batches of 16 tubes each directly on the 32 position MCL carousel compatible with Beckman Coulter’s FC 500,
Navios and DxFLEX Clinical Flow Cytometers.
Beckman Coulter CellMek SPS
Designed to automate an end-to-end clinical flow cytometry sample preparation workflow without user intervention, the CellMek SPS system helps your lab reach the next level of process optimization. It is designed to simultaneously manage various preparation methods in random access while providing continuous loading, optimizing efficiency and traceability. This system helps you unlock the power of lean by addressing major process wastes related to sample preparation in your clinical flow cytometry laboratory.
CellMek advantages
Lean processing
The LEAN concept provides a systematic approach to look at workflows to take out all non-value adding process steps, the so-called process wastes, in order to increase efficiency. The CellMek SPS addresses the challenges associated with complex sample preparation in flow cytometry to increase lab efficiency and helps you to cope with increasing workloads.
Uninterrupted workflow
Onboard washing capability with customizable washing steps.
Both pre- and post-washes are optional steps of the sample prep workflow.
Automated rocking and cap piercing - no need to manually unscrew specimen tube caps.
How to reduce manual processing
Optimized time-to-result
Continuous loading & unloading of samples through tube-specific cassettes.
Parallel processing to help optimize scheduling and sample throughput.
Output carousel can be retrieved to start sample analysis while system prepares more samples.
Traceable inventory
A refrigerated 53-position liquid antibody carousel means reagents can remain onboard.
Capacity for up to 12 DURACartridges - our innovative new format for dry reagents.
All reagents and consumables are barcoded to provide automated tracking for a full audit trail.
Customized flexibility
Panel Designer Software lets you easily design your own protocols.
CellMek SPS takes care of scheduling - no need to batch by application.
Many options such as lysis, washing steps and volumes to pipet.
