Description
Beckman Coulter Vi-Cell XR Cell Viability Analyzer Assembly Number 383556 Serial Number AT31188 Included: ThinkCentre Desktop Computer, KB & Mouse (Running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC & Vi-Cell Software Version 2.06.04 Pre-Loaded) Vi-Cell Software Version 2.06.04 Software Disk The Beckman Coulter Vi-CELL XR Cell Viability Analyzer is a fully automated, image-based instrument that uses the trypan blue dye exclusion method to determine cell viability and concentration in cell cultures. It is designed for use in research and bioprocessing environments, providing objective and reproducible results that eliminate the variability of manual counting Key Features Automation: The system automates the entire process, including sample aspiration, trypan blue mixing, image analysis, and instrument cleaning, which removes operator bias and streamlines workflow efficiency. High Throughput: It features a 12-position autosampler for walk-away sample analysis, processing up to 10 samples in a single run with an analysis time of less than 2.5 minutes per sample. Image Analysis: The analyzer uses advanced video imaging through a quartz flow cell and a high-resolution CCD camera (1394x1040 pixels) with auto-focus to capture real-time cellular images, allowing for detailed analysis of cell size, circularity, brightness, and clumping. Wide Analysis Range: It supports a cell size range of 2 to 70 µm and a concentration range of 5 x 10⁴ to 1 x 10⁷ cells/mL , making it suitable for a variety of cell types including mammalian cells, yeast, and insect cells. Software and Data Handling: The accompanying Vi-CELL software offers pre-programmed and customizable analysis options and facilitates 21 CFR Part 11 compliance with features like audit trails, electronic signatures, and secure user permissions. Data can be viewed on screen or exported to Microsoft Excel for further analysis. Convenient Reagents: System maintenance is simplified by using a validated, color-coded reagent pack that contains trypan blue, buffer, disinfectant, and cleaning agents.
