Vi-CELL™ BLU, Cell Viability Analyzer

Reference: BEC-C19201

https://www.analis.com/web/image/product.template/4844/image_1920?unique=7f8c4ad

The faster Vi-CELL BLU automates the Trypan Blue dye exclusion method for cell viability analysis. It speeds up processing with a choice of a 24-position sample carousel or a 96-well plate for sample delivery.


C19201 includes the Vi-CELL BLU instrument (C19196) and a start-up kit (C23660).

Startup Kit (C23660) contains:

C22467 Carousel Assembly

873155 Power Cord (North America)

C09492 Power Supply, 90-264 VAC, 220 W, 12V/15A

C99606 Vi-CELL sample vials (500 per bag) [C99606 replaces the former C24243]

C24841 Vi-CELL 96-Well Plate, 5 pcs

C24842 Vi-CELL 96-Well Plate Cover Slip, 10 pcs

C17273 Wrench, standard hex Allen 8 mm

C17843 Plug to cover the locking screw hole


Additional improvements in the Vi-CELL BLU include:

  • Fully automated sample preparation, analysis and post-run cleaning
  • Small sample size
  • Fast sample processing time
  • Small laboratory footprint
  • Flexible sample introduction – carousel or 96-well plate
  • User-friendly reagent system
  • Cell viability reported in percentage, concentration and cell count
  • Large sampler capacity
  • Data integrity tools

    Vi-CELL BLU Reagent Pack (Qty 1)
    BECKMAN COULTER LIFE SCIENCES

    Vi-CELL BLU Reagent Pack (Qty 1)

    Reference : BEC-C06019

    We’ve improved the Vi-CELL reagent pack to make it easier to use. The Vi-CELL reagents you know and trust are now packaged in a convenient ready-to-load kit. Simply open the instrument reagent panel and slide in the reagent pack. Each pack can be used for 310 activities before changing. Packs are easy to replace with no mess. Say goodbye to wrangling with tubes and splattering dye when you change out reagents. Your lab coat will thank you!

    Each reagent pack contains:
    -    Trypan Blue bottle
    -Waste bottle
    -Buffer solution bottle
    -Disinfectant bottle
    -Cleaning agent bottle

    Each pack also includes an RFID tag that tells you how many activities are remaining on the pack. No more guessing on remaining reagent amounts or running out in the middle of a critical series of tests.
    The embedded RFID tag gives important information about each pack to your Vi-CELL BLU instrument:
    -Lot number
    -Expiration date
    -On-board life (90 days)
    -Activities remaining
    -Part number
    There are no more cardboard packs. The new reagent pack is made of plastic and easy to wipe down in clean room situations. Another advancement in the new reagent pack is that the reagent pack lid, tray, and bottles are recyclable.

    C06019 is for a single Vi-CELL BLU Reagent pack.
