Benefit from automated flow cytometry on MACSQuant® Analyzers

MACSQuant Flow Cytometers have been designed to automate and optimize routine housekeeping procedures such as instrument start-up, calibration, cleaning, and shutdown.

Fluorescence compensation is often regarded as a daunting and tedious task. MACSQuant Flow Cytometers have been designed to automate compensation accurately and reliably using either single-stained cells or beads.

Irrespective of sample format, MACSQuant Analyzers facilitate automated processing of single tubes, 24-tube racks, 96-well, and 384-well plates. Integration of plate hotels and liquid handling stations enables true high-throughput analysis.

Compound-screening and toxicology applications of flow cytometry often require high sample-throughput. However, reliable and reproducible results are rarely obtained without ensuring samples are equally exposed to potentially toxic compounds. 

The robotic needle arm on MACSQuant Analyzers is capable of staining cells prior to analysis, making results more comparable, and eliminating time-consuming pipetting steps.

Express Modes are add-on features for the MACSQuant Analyzers. They allow the automation of entire workflows for flow cytometry assays: 

• Automatic sample staining and acquisition with the robotic needle arm
• Automatic analysis, including gating by the MACSQuantify™ Software
• Automatic generation of reports by the MACSQuantify Software

Every MACSQuant Instrument is equipped with precise fluidics systems that enable automated and accurate uptake of sample volumes, i.e., volumetric pipetting. This provides several distinct advantages over conventional flow cytometers:

• Speed: absolute cell counts in real time with the completion of your sample.
• Cost-effectiveness: no need for expensive counting beads or particles.
• Ease of use: results at the touch of the button: the counting operation is integrated into each and every automated cell analysis.

Unique to MACSQuant Analyzers is the integrated MACS Column. Rapid pre-enrichment of rare cells prior to flow analysis can be accomplished within the flow cytometry instrument itself.  In just a few simple, automated steps, the instrument saves you time without compromising the quality or sensitivity of your rare cell analyses.
