Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Flow cytometer specimen processors are automated or semi-automated workstations designed to be used alone or in combination with manual methods to pipette, dilute and process human specimens in preparation for flow cytometric analysis.
Physical State
May include automated processing devices, pipetting devices, diluting devices.
Technical Method
Workstations prepare human specimens for flow cytometric analysis using an automated process to aspirate and dispense whole blood, lysing, stabilizing and fixative reagents, along with monoclonal antibodies and florescent molecules.
Target Area
May include peripheral whole blood specimens, isolated mononuclear cells, bone marrow, body fluids and cells dispersed from tissues.
