VCS Technology Separates Beckman Coulter From The Rest
VCS Technology is the most powerful tool available for blood cell
analysis. This proprietary technology offers the greatest sensitivity,
specificity and efficiency of any differential system available today.
VCS Optimization (patent pending) ensures even more robust performance
from this unique combination of technologies, providing even fewer
reviews.
What makes VCS so exceptional and useful? The VCS module is a unique
flow cytometer. A structural combination in which a biological sample in
the form of a hydrodynamically-focused stream of particles is passed
into and through a point-focused laser beam.
Electrically conductive contacts within the fluid stream pathway provide
simultaneous electrical pulse outputs as the result of Coulter DC Volume
and Coulter RF/DC (radio frequency/direct current) interrogation of each
cell.
These three output signals are then combined to define WBC
subpopulations, effectively distinguishing the five principal white
blood cell types: lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils and
basophils.
VCS is a superior, single channel technology, a patented system for the
detection of white cell subpopulations and an open architecture system
which provides the platform for other types of breakthrough analyses
such as the reticulocyte count.
