Get into the flow! 

Working in a flow cytometry lab, you might feel a bit stressed out at times, considering the increasing number of samples and complexity of tests, and high requirements for documentation adding to it. You could do with a couple of additional helping hands, but experienced colleagues are not that easy to be found.

Then, imagine work in the flow lab running so smoothly it almost feels like dancing, and you catch yourself wanting to tap your feet, snap your fingers and sway your hips. Impossible?

We think it is possible: with our expertise in automation, data integration and workflow optimisation, which we’ve developed over decades in haematology, haemostasis and urinalysis diagnostics, and which has inspired the development of our clinical flow cytometry solution, we can help you handle your challenges confidently. Because even in a busy flow cytometry laboratory, work should be fun – at least from time to time throughout your day.

Whatever the pace of your lab and the complexity of your steps, our expertise in automation and workflow optimisation will help you streamline your processes.

• Our workflow consultancy can help you find ways to reduce manual steps and complexity in your daily work.
• Add automation thoughtfully and at your own pace – while maintaining flexibility where needed.
• Release your lab staff from spending time on routine manual tasks, allowing them to use their skills more effectively.

When it comes to running your processes, you remain the choreographer and determine how your ‘show’ is run.

• Automate your laboratory’s sample preparation on the PS-10 sample preparation system and appreciate the standardised  processing – your instrumentation does it the same way every day, for highly reproducible results.
• Freely program to adapt the processing to your laboratory’s individual needs – for many different protocols, including ones with cell wash steps.
• You retain freedom of choice – choose from our large portfolio of CyFlow™ antibody reagents or combine with ones from other suppliers.

Being well prepared for the QM audit with complete documentation helps to take the blues out of this event. And you never know – the auditor might perceive and appreciate the positive swing of things at your site.

• Automated documentation facilitating traceability and risk mitigation
• The on-board documentation supports compliance with increasing regulatory and accreditation requirements.
• Full record of user operations, instrument maintenance, reagents, processing steps, and cytometer settings

After all the preparation and analysis steps, in the end, the results are what matters most. This is the highlight of your ‘show’ putting the data in the spotlight.

This ‘finale’ is supported all along the way by software solutions that make life and work in the laboratory easier and more effective by ensuring a smooth data flow – from the receipt of a test request to a detailed analysis of acquired data to the final reporting of the results.

• Automated worklist transfer from the PS-10 sample preparation system to the XF-1600 flow cytometer
• CyFlow™ WA middleware efficiently manages data flow and connectivity to other information systems – for a paperless and efficient workflow.
• A powerful and intuitive offline data analysis software streamlines analytics and reporting with the help of advanced functions.
