BD FACS Lyse Wash Assistant

Product catalog summary

Overview
The BD FACS Lyse Wash Assistant (LWA) is designed to automate sample preparation for flow cytometry applications, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual labor. It performs lysing, mixing, washing, and fixing of samples, which can then be analyzed using BD FACSCanto or BD FACSCalibur flow cytometers.

Specifications
The LWA can process up to 40 samples simultaneously. It features a carousel that can be directly transferred to compatible flow cytometers or sample preparation assistants. The system includes patented cell washer technology that eliminates the need for centrifuge transfers, effectively removing unwanted components while preserving white cells.

Programmability and Customization
The LWA offers five preprogrammed protocols and allows for the creation of up to ten custom protocols. These protocols can be easily transferred between instruments via USB. Users can customize lyse and fixative volumes, mixing frequency and duration, incubation times, wash precipitation, and G force settings.

Productivity and Safety
With an optional larger tank, the LWA can handle up to 160 samples without fluid changes, increasing productivity. This automation reduces time compared to standard methods and minimizes exposure to biohazardous materials.

BD FACS Lyse Wash Assistant Streamline Sample Preparation Workflow Features Lyses, mixes, washes, and fixes to streamline workflow Easy-to-use, touch-screen interface Compatible with BD FACSCanto™, BD FACSCalibur™, and BD FACS™ Sample Preparation Assistant to further enhance workflow The redesigned BD FACS™ Lyse Wash Assistant (LWA) automates sample preparation for flow cytometry applications. It lyses, mixes, washes, and fixes samples with minimal labor, so the samples can then be analyzed on the BD FACSCanto or BD FACSCalibur flow cytometers. The LWA system processes up to 40 samples at a time. The LWA carousel can be transferred directly to a BD FACSCanto or BD FACSCalibur flow cytometer, or BD FACS Sample Preparation Assistant. Automating sample preparation by batch processing up to 40 patient samples per run allows the technician to focus on other laboratory tasks. Patented cell washer technology eliminates the need to transfer samples to a centrifuge. Red blood cells, platelets, unbound antibody, and residual proteins are removed, while preserving white cells and delivering clean sample recovery. The programmable steps of sample preparation can be run in any order and can also be repeated. The new LWA provides five preprogrammed protocols and allows users to create as many as ten custom protocols to meet laboratory needs. For consistent sample preparation, protocols can be quickly and easily transferred between instruments using a USB device. The LWA delivers options to customize a range of lyse and fixative dispense volumes. Users can select mixing frequency and length, incubation times, wash precipitation, and G force settings. With the larger tank option, labs can further increase productivity by running four full loader racks (160 samples) without having to change fluids. This automation not only saves valuable time compared to standard methods, but minimizes exposure to potentially biohazardous material.
