AQUIOS CL Features
The AQUIOS CL Flow cytometer in combination with AQUIOS Panel has been accepted for the WHO list of prequalified in vitro diagnostic products
Full Bidirectional LIS Connectivity
- Automatic retrieval of test requests and transmission of test results
- No need for additional workstations or software to connect to the LIS System
- No need to create or download worklists manually
Automated System Setup
- Preprogrammed protocols per application
- No daily setup reagents required
- No manual system or controls optimization
- Power on, system warmup, load controls, load samples - that's it!
Smart Track Reagent Monitoring
- Uses a range of barcoded reagents and consumables
- Automatic barcode scanning to track those reagents, lot numbers, open and closed vial expiration dates, and number of tests or volume per reagent container
- Continuous tracking of reagent usage
- Automatic reagent monitoring including the number of tests remaining and warnings when tracked reagents are low, out or expired
Cassette Autoloader
- Total capacity 40 sample tubes
- Accommodates a variety of tube sizes
- Continuous, random loading and unloading
- Separate single-tube loader for STAT samples, open vials, and tubes that are not barcoded
Automated Sample Preparation
- Automatic matching of sample identification code with the test request
- All sample preparation and analysis performed in 96-well microplates
- Automatic launch of applicable testing protocol
- Positive specimen ID and automatic specimen mixing immediately prior to aspiration
- Automatic dispensing and mixing of applicable reagents
- No manual pipetting of primary tubes
Automated Sample Preparation
- Pipeline Sample Processing
- Eliminate slow, inefficient batch processing of samples
- 20 minutes to the first result after sample load (measured with Tetra-1 or Tetra-2+)
- After the first result, it’s 25 results/hour for up to one full 96-well plate (measured with Tetra Combo)
- Two multitasking probes: one for cap piercing and sample preparation, the other for aspirating prepared samples for analysis
- Each sample is analyzed as soon as it is ready
- Intelligent analysis algorithm sets all gates and regions automatically
- System flags samples that don’t meet autovalidation criteria
Real Time Sample Monitoring
- Intuitive software interface indicates the status of each sample
- Know at a glance where each sample is in the process and how much time until results are availableAutomatic retrieval of test requests and transmission of test results
Comprehensive Quality Control
- Barcode tracking means no manual QC or reagent logs
- Generate a full, easily reviewable audit trail that includes reagent traceability
- Should QC fail, operator can be alerted via text message or email
