Overview
Upgrade how you process cells to get reliably consistent data
Laminar Wash technology is for scientists who believe that quantitative flow cytometry is critical to cell therapy, immuno-oncology, and other fields where cell analysis is important.
Flow cytometry depends on data consistency and reproducibility to yield biologically relevant information. Yet traditional sample prep methods often fail to deliver on these key criteria. How can we address this challenge?
By moving away from centrifugation, the traditional way of processing your cells, and automating your flow cytometry workflow, from sample preparation to data analysis using laminar washing. This process allows for standardization of sample preparation methods for various cell analysis applications.
Laminar Wash technology significantly improves debris removal, increasing the retention and viability of rare cell populations. The distinct resolution and identification of target and rare cellular populations supports the gamut of therapeutic development, from biomarker identification and discovery, to predicting cellular expansion success during manufacturing.
By eliminating centrifugation and supernatant removal steps
(e.g., aspirating and flicking), Laminar Wash reduces sample handling and hands-on time, freeing your lab to take on more challenging endeavors.
If you’re interested in obtaining the most reproducible data among users and locations, then Laminar Wash technology is for you.
"Due to its underlying principle, the Laminar Wash (technology) means less mechanical stress on cells and less cell loss from a sample that is compared to conventional centrifugation steps."
Dr. Christoph Eberle, Charles River Laboratories
