第一種能夠為實驗室信息系統(LIS)提供連通性的血細胞計數系統，綜合了Beckman Coulter(Fullerton, CA, USA)公司的FC 500流式細胞儀和該公司的新型FP 1000樣本處理系統。

這套系統為高通量臨床參考實驗室而設計，綜合細胞計數解決方案(ICS)的流線型工作流程和整個測試全程跟蹤樣本--從收到樣本和準備，到數據獲取和分析，以及出具報告。這可以幫助實驗室對細胞計數檢測過程進行標準化，增加效率、精確性和操作者的安全。

流式細胞儀是一種廣泛應用的血細胞分類自動檢測工具。通常用于體外檢測鑒別和枚舉疾病指標的細胞亞群，例如艾滋病、白血病和淋巴瘤。這些指標能夠幫助監測疾病進程和治療效果。

“這種新的解決方案代表了我們公司戰略的核心--將用戶操作過程簡單化和自動化，”Beckman Coulter公司翻譯解決方案事務中心副總裁Bonnie Anderson說，“通過引入完全整合的細胞計數解決方案，我們進一步鞏固了我們公司在流式細胞儀自動化領域的領導者地位?！?

Cytometry System With LIS Connectivity
 
The first cytometry system to offer laboratory information system (LIS) connectivity combines the FC 500 flow cytometer of Beckman Coulter (Fullerton, CA, USA) with the company’s new FP 1000 sample processing system.

Designed for high-volume clinical reference laboratories, this integrated cytometry solution (ICS) streamlines workflow and tracks samples throughout the testing process--from receipt and preparation, to acquisition and analysis of data, to reporting results. This is an approach that helps laboratories to standardize their flow cytometry testing process, increasing efficiency, accuracy, and operator safety.

Flow cytometry is widely used to provide an automated analysis of blood cell populations. It is commonly used in in vitro diagnostics to identify and enumerate cell populations that are key indicators of diseases, such as HIV, leukemia, and lymphoma. These indicators help monitor disease progression and therapy effectiveness.

“This new solution reflects the essence of our company’s strategy--to simplify and automate customer processes to improve productivity,” said Bonnie Anderson, vice president of Beckman Coulter’s Translational Solutions business center. “Through the introduction of a fully integrated cytometry solution, we are further securing our position as a leader in flow cytometry automation.”
