Overview
The BD FACS™ Lyse Wash Assistant (LWA), with its patented cell wash technology, automates sample preparation for flow cytometry applications. It lyses, mixes, washes and fixes samples with minimal labor.
Features
The BD FACS™ LWA System provides an efficient workflow for increased performance
The system:
- Lyses, mixes, washes and fixes to streamline your workflow
- Processes up to 40 samples/run
- Offers an easy-to-use, touch-screen interface
- Enables labs to further increase productivity with the larger tank option by running four full loader racks (160 samples) without having to change fluids during processing
- The LWA carousel is compatible with the BD FACS™ Loader on BD FACSCanto™
II Flow Cytometer and with the BD FACS™ Sample Prep Assistant III
The BD FACS™ LWA System automates lyse and wash steps
- Patented cell washer technology eliminates the need to transfer samples to an external laboratory centrifuge reducing hand-on time.
- Red blood cells, platelets, unbound antibody and residual proteins are removed while preserving white blood cells and delivering clean sample recovery.
The BD FACS™ LWA System enables customizable sample preparation protocols
The system:
- Provides six preprogrammed protocols.
- Enables you to create up to ten custom protocols to meet laboratory needs, using the programmable steps of sample preparation in any order or repeats
- Allows you to transfer custom protocols between instruments using a USB device, for consistent sample preparation
- Delivers options to customize a range of lyse and fixative dispense volumes. You can select mixing frequency and length, incubation times, wash precipitation and G force settings
- Saves valuable time compared to standard methods through automation, while minimizing exposure to potentially biohazardous material
BD flow cytometers are Class I Laser Products.
The BD FACSCanto™ Flow Cytometer is for In Vitro Diagnostic Use for up to six colors. Seven to ten colors are for Research Use Only.
