Integrated Cytometry Solution

Solving complex testing issues.
Efficiently, Reliably, Safely.

For the first time, the Integrated Cytometry Solution offers a seamless pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical solution coupled with complete LIS connectivity. By standardizing the five major steps a sample undergoes - and managing the electronic communications between each one - it delivers a progressive automated system that simplifies and streamlines workflow processes, increases efficiency and accuracy, accelerates throughput, and minimizes operator involvement.

Product Features

Receive
  • THE SAMPLE ID, test request and demographic information are sent from the LIS and captured in the Information Manager. At the same time, the run information is sent to the FP 1000 database.Complex panels, protocols, reagents and procedures are automatically set up, and a worklist is generated. To ensure accurate handling, data is transferred electronically from LIS to final results.This virtually eliminates transcription errors and costly sample re-runs,while freeing valuable techs for more important tasks.


Prepare
  • BARCODE tracking on the daughter tubes provides paperless positive ID throughout the process, while three carousels deliver high throughput for increased lab efficiency (up to 96 daughter tubes per hour in batch mode for tetraCXP). For reduced operator involvement and increased safety, the FP 1000’s unique gripping arm transports sample carousels from storage to processing. By accessing sample tubes through cap piercing – as well as automatically dispensing antibodies into the daughter tubes – technologists are protected from potential sample exposure and reproducibility is increased.


Acquire
  • WITH THE SAMPLES PROPERLY PREPARED, the carousels are moved to the FC 500. The user locates the external worklist file on the FP 1000, and opens it, populating the CXP AcquisitionManager for processing and barcode-based sample tracking. For enhanced flexibility in labs with multiple instruments, the worklist can be sent via ethernet. It can also use native FC 500 or Excel formats, or a combination. To permit the operator to easily work with listmode data during analysis, it’s stored in a user-created directory. With auto-setup capability, multi-color analysis using either single or dual laser excitation, and the ability to use a variety of dyes, the award-winning FC 500 delivers unmatched versatility.


Analyze
  • REALTIME OR LISTMODE DATA HANDLING, point-click gating, and 20-bit data acquisition are just a few of the ways the innovative FC 500 and its revolutionary CXP software deliver accurate and easy-to-interpret results – all of which can be printed at the FC 500 or uploaded to the LIS.


Report
  • FOR THE UTMOST FLEXIBILITY AND SAFETY in how information is transmitted, password-protected results can be reviewed and verified at the Information Manager workstation before uploading, or they can be passed on directly to the LIS.
