Innovative instrument a must have in a clinical flow cytometry lab
Lymphocyte subsets analysis
First load and go flow cytometer. Completely automated from the beginning of the test to the end results. Reliable results. Full IVD approved. This innovate instrument has simplified a common and repetitive aplication such as the lymphcyte subset enumeration allowing the technologist to spend more time in more complex applications. TAT has been reduced since samples can be loaded at any time since the run doesn't depend in batches. Has improved Patient Care since results are ready in 40 minutes.

Sample preparation and data management usually are the major bottlenecks in routine flow cytometry. Even with a semi-automated process, you and your team may spend hundreds of hours per year for tasks that don‘t add to your laboratory‘s productivity.
AQUIOS CL in your lab means you can…
- Provide a 24/7 flow cytometry service as the AQUIOS CL can be run safely by less experienced operators.
- Increase productivity with high-throughput performance that eliminates many of the least efficient features of existing systems.
- Reduce the potential for user error inherent in existing systems that require numerous manual steps to set up and run.
- Allocate staff resources for maximum productivity, putting your skilled operators where you need them most.
- Reduce exposure to potentially biohazardous material such as open blood tubes.
