AQUIOS CL Workflow

Eliminate Steps With Every Sample 

Modular flow cytometry systems might be effective for higher complexity applications, but aren‘t the best option for efficiently managing a high volume of routine applications. With AQUIOS CL, you can automate your most routine, repetitive tasks. 

Total elapsed time from instrument startup to shutdown was analyzed for 10, 25, and 50 lymphocyte subset samples on AQUIOS CL vs. the alternative method (FC500 with TQ-Prep). AQUIOS CL reduced actual hands-on time by up to 92%.  Reagents and sample material used: AQUIOS Tetra-1 with AQUIOS IMMUNO-TROL and AQUIOS IMMUNO-TROL Low cells (AQUIOS CL); CYTO-STAT tetraCHROME CD45/CD4/CD8/CD3 with IMMUNO-TROL and IMMUNO-TROL Low cells (FC500 with TQ-Prep).  Data: The London Health Sciences Centre (Ontario, Canada).

Time to first result (sum of cytometer startup & cleaning, quality control, and sample preparation time including time for analysis of the first sample) was analyzed for 10, 25, and 50 lymphocyte subset samples on AQUIOS CL vs. the alternative method (BD FACSCalibur plus SPA II system).  Reagents and sample material used: BD MultiTest CD3/CD8/CD45/CD4 with BD Multi-Check and BD Multi-Check Low Control cells (FACSCalibur plus SPA II); AQUIOS Tetra-1 with AQUIOS IMMUNO-TROL and AQUIOS IMMUNO-TROL Low cells (AQUIOS CL).  Data: University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Galveston, Texas.
