The IM 8.05 tracks each sample throughout the process to reduce labor requirements and errors and helps users meet CAP and JCAHO patient safety goals. The software features advanced decision rules capabilities that significantly increase lab productivity and graphics that can be reviewed and transferred to the LIS along with relevant results.
"Data management is a key decision factor in flow cytometry purchases," explains Willy Gutierrez, marketing manager for Beckman Coulter. "Bidirectional information flow saves time, reduces errors and is very important to customers. The combined offering of our FC 500 with the IM 8.05 software delivers clear advantages over what is available from other suppliers."
Customers who are already using Instrument Manager can download the upgrade free of charge. The complete off-the-shelf hardware and software solution for the FC 500 is available directly from Beckman Coulter.
