Flow cytometry automation

High-throughput flow cytometry has become an integral part of drug discovery efforts with applications in phenotypic screening, ligand binding assays, monoclonal antibody screening and biomarker discovery. The integration of the multi-parametric CytoFLEX flow cytometer from Beckman Coulter increases sample throughput allowing faster processing of high complexity assays. 

The integration of the multi-parametric CytoFLEX flow cytometer to the Automation Assistant increases sample throughput allowing faster processing of high complexity assays. The Automation Assistant feeds plates, from a plate hotel, to the CytoFLEX and can hold up to (72) plates on the deck for acquisition. The flexible, user-friendly Automation Assistant software allows plate shuffling & STAT sampling as well as real time monitoring of sample acquisition. This versatile walk-away system improves workflow and can be customized to incorporate additional instrumentation including a second CytoFLEX, an incubator and bar code reader.
