      Intended as an aid in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma and other plasma cell disorders

       

      Overview

      The BD OneFlow™ PCD Tube is part of the innovative BD OneFlow™ Solution, a comprehensive set of reagents, setup beads, protocols and assay templates to reproducibly set up the flow cytometer and stain, acquire and analyze patient specimens for immunophenotyping of normal and aberrant cell populations. It is built on the research and validation work of the EuroFlow™ Consortium on the characterization of hematological malignancies for improved accurate diagnosis.1* 

       

      The BD OneFlow™ PCD Tube, when run in parallel with the BD OneFlow™ Plasma Cell Screening Tube (PCST), is intended for flow cytometric immunophenotyping of normal and aberrant plasma cells in bone marrow as an aid in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma or other plasma cell disorders.

       

      Other reagents belonging to the BD OneFlow™ Solution are BD OneFlow™ Lymphoid Screening Tube (LST) , BD OneFlow™ B-cell Chronic Lymphoproliferative Diseases Tube 1 (B-CLPD T1), BD OneFlow™ Plasma Cell Screening Tube (PCST)and BD OneFlow™ Acute Leukemia Orientation Tube (ALOT).

      FEATURES

      The BD OneFlow™ PCD Tube:

      • Is a preconfigured single-use, ready-to-use 8-color reagent
      • Is a classification tube that can be used for specimens with plasma cell populations needing further investigation as determined by the BD OneFlow™ PCST
      • Is available in the 10 test/box size (4 pouches of 5 tubes each)
      • Allows for easy visual identification with boxes, pouches and tubes color coded with a lighter green color than the one identifying the BD OneFlow™ PCST

       

       

       

      The BD OneFlow™ Reagents increase efficiency by simplifying instrument standardization, reducing the time to prepare the instrument as well as the technical burden and training needs.2

      For BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer users:

      • BD® CS&T IVD Beads standardize setup and monitoring for consistent performance and ensure reproducibility through Universal Setup
      • BD® FC Beads (7-Color, 5-Color and 2-Color Kits) support consistency of results, eliminating the need for using cells for compensation
      • BD® CS&T Beads and BD® FC Beads kits necessary for instrument setup and compensation can be used for other BD CE-IVD assays on the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer

       

      For BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer users:

      • BD FACSDiva™ CS&T IVD Beads standardize setup and monitoring for consistent performance and ensure reproducibility with Application Settings
      • BD OneFlow™ Setup Beads ensure data accuracy and reproducibility by providing assay-specific target values, as per EuroFlow™ SOPs.3
      • The specifically designed BD® FC Beads 8-Color Kit eliminates the need for using single-vial reagents and cells for compensation

      APPLICATIONS

      BD OneFlow™ PCD Tube Lab Report (normal specimens) when used with the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer

      Laboratory report of a normal bone marrow specimen stained with the 8-color 8-antibody BD OneFlow™ PCD Tube single-test reagent acquired on the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer with BD FACSuite™ Clinical Application v1.4 for further investigation of plasma cell populations after or in combination with the use of the BD OneFlow™ PCST.
      BD OneFlow™ PCD Tube Lab Report (abnormal specimens) when used with the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer

      Laboratory report of an abnormal bone marrow specimen stained with the 8-color 8-antibody BD OneFlow™ PCD Tube single-test reagent acquired on the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer with BD FACSuite™ Clinical Application v1.4 for further investigation of plasma cell populations after or in combination with the use of the BD OneFlow™ PCST.
      BD OneFlow™ Reagents can be run on both the BD FACSLyric™ and BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometers with equivalent results.

      Periodic and daily setup

      Supporting Evidence

      The EuroFlow “PCD panel was able to detect and fully characterize the immunophenotype of aberrant plasma cells or their normal/reactive counterparts in all the samples tested (100), as also assessed by routine diagnostic protocols performed in parallel.”1*
