CytoLoader™ for Flow Cytometry Platforms

Our Off-the-Shelf Solution Works with your Flow Cytometer to Automate Your Workflow

This off-the-shelf solution for flow cytometry requires minimal scoping with no compromise to functionality. CytoLoader offers increased walk-away time as well as improved on instrument time with it’s 24/7 run capabilities. A reliable and durable automated solution, CytoLoader pairs your own flow cytometer with a PlateCrane™ EX or PlateCrane SciClops™ Microplate Handling Robotic Arm. CytoLoader is easy to use with an intuitive user interface to control the workflow.

Description

Automating your flow cytometry workflow couldn’t be simpler with CytoLoader™ for Flow Cytometry Platforms.

1. Select one of your pre-defined methods in your flow cytometer

CytoLoader™ for Flow Cytometry Platforms

2. Load a stack of sample plates to be processed in the input stack

CytoLoader™ for Flow Cytometry Platforms

The PlateCrane EX or PlateCrane SciClops will sense the stack height and automatically determine the number of plates in the stack before removing the first one, negating the need to tell the system how many plates are being loaded.  You can even add plates on the fly to be processed without interacting with the software.

3. Hit the Start button in the Hudson software. Repeat as needed

CytoLoader™ for Flow Cytometry Platforms

When signaled that the run is complete, unload the output stack, analyze your results, and repeat as necessary to complete your study.
