The Analyzer consists of two main components, the hardware for image capturing (scanner) and the Liquid
Management system.
The flow chamber is specially developed to allow for the analysis of a defined volume of cell suspension. The
Liquid Management system is responsible for staining the sample as well as for filling and cleaning the flow
chamber and liquid feed system.
The volumes of sample and dye, as well as specific cleaning solutions required for each cleaning routine, are
precisely controlled via the syringe module with the 8-way distribution valve. The individual components of the
Liquid Management system are easily accessible to allow for trouble-free maintenance and control.
