The Navios flow cytometer provides high sensitivity and resolution as well as a wide dynamic range to run high complexity, multicolour analyses on both clinical and clinical research samples. The second in a new line of cytometers to be released this year by Beckman Coulter, the Navios can be configured as either a two-laser system providing six- or eight-colour detection, or as a three-laser system offering up to 10-colour analysis.
Tubes in the instrument’s 32-position carousel are vortex-mixed individually, which ensures sample homogeneity and avoids over-mixing. Automated barcode reading provides verification of carousel number, position and tube label for true positive sample identification. Navios data files also contain cytometer settings, plots, gates and regions, providing a complete record of sample analysis.
Navios flow cytometers interface with Beckman Coulter automation systems to provide secure, high-throughput results, even at the highest volumes. The instruments are LIS-ready and, in conjunction with Beckman Coulter’s FP1000 automated preparation system and Data Innovations’ middleware, can provide a complete sample in/result out solution for clinical laboratories.
