Automated sample preparation for clinical flow cytometry PS-10 ™ sample preparation system Thoughtful automation for a new level of workflow efficiency

From vision to reality: our new solution for flow cytometry Our flow cytometry solution helps you efficiently manage sample and data flow. PS-10 Automated sample preparation system Sysmex CyFlow™ CE IVD antibody reagents Directly transfer all tubes in a rotor from the PS-10 to the wash centrifuge to the XF-1600, with automatic barcode recognition.

Get into the flow Specialised flow cytometry laboratories today are facing several challenges: an increasing number and complexity of tests, high requirements for documentation, and limited availability of skilled staff. For more than 50 years, Sysmex has helped clinical laboratories improve their productivity and diagnostic quality by adding innovative testing and automation in areas such as haematology, haemostasis and urinalysis. Applying our expertise in workflow consultancy with an on-site analysis of the current processes in your flow cytometry laboratory, we can work out the most suitable...

■ Continuous, uninterrupted sample introduction and worklist creation. ■ Efficient automation for high-throughput operation. ■ Virtually eliminates operator-dependent variability. ■ Powerful flexibility, allows you to easily incorporate your existing laboratory procedures (SOPs). ■ Uses standard Sysmex haematology specimen racks. ■ Up to 50 specimen tubes can be loaded at a time with additional racks loaded continuously. ■ Multiple, integrated barcode readers for positive ID of samples and tube rotors to reduce operator errors. ■ Four open vial positions can accommodate a larger range of specimen...

■ Test request download via LIS speeds up sample processing. ■ The graphic user interface allows you to easily create custom tests, panels and procedures. ■ Variables such as sample volume based on WBC count, antibody volume, incubation time, lyse and buffer volumes are all available for customisation. There is no longer a need for cumbersome predilution of primary specimens. ■ Information concerning reagent blocks, bulk reagents, tests, panels and procedures is stored for future use -easing your daily work, and your work for accreditation. ■ Two cooled racks are available to ensure reagent or...

■ Dual pipetting probes decrease the individual steps required during sample preparation. ■ Robust, reliable cap piercing minimises operator exposure to potentially hazardous biological specimens. ■ Automatic allocation of daughter tubes for specimen security. ■ A single aspiration of blood or antibody allows multiple aliquots, saving time for multi-tube panels. ■ Daughter tube rotors are directly transferable to the automated cell washing system. ■ Processes approximately 2 x 24-tube rotors per hour, for no-wash assays. ■ Dual rotor configuration enables batch processing. ■ Continued sample...

Flexibly standardise your preparation processes Custom procedures for sample preparation Multiple bulk reagent bottles for lyse and buffer solutions allow multiple reagent choices. Easily accommodate lyse-wash or no-wash and intracellular staining procedures. For wash procedures, the PS-10rotors are directly compatible with the Hettich Rotolavit II-S automated cell washing system. Rotors can be easily transferred to and off the system for required wash steps, virtually eliminating daughter tube handling and human errors when transferring tubes to and from a centrifuge for washing. Hettich Rotolavit...
