Description
The Curiox Laminar Wash HT2000 Station 96 (Part No. DC-2000-96-01) combined with the Curiox HT Buffer Exchanger 5 (Part No. DC-BX-01-05) is an automated, centrifuge-less sample preparation system. It is explicitly designed to maximize cell retention and viability during fluidic washing steps for flow cytometry and single-cell sequencing workflows. By substituting centrifugation with gravity-settling and gentle laminar fluidics, the setup minimizes mechanical stress, eliminates cell pelleting (reducing doublets and clumping), and sharply drops biohazard aerosolization risks Curiox Laminar Wash HT2000 Station 96 Part No DC-2000-96-01 Serial No HT2000-CE-IM-036 The HT2000 is the main benchtop robotic fluidics instrument featuring a built-in touchscreen Graphical User Interface (GUI). Core Technology: Employs dual-nozzle fluidics per well—one nozzle gently dispenses fresh wash buffer while the other simultaneously aspirates waste. Throughput: Processes a full 96-well plate in roughly 3 to 4 minutes . Consumable Requirement: Operation strictly requires a proprietary 96-well Laminar Wash plate . This plate relies on a configuration of hydrophilic spots surrounded by a hydrophobic border to trap cells via gravity without manual fluid mixing. Internal optical sensors on the tray will not initialize a wash cycle unless this specific plate is detected. Curiox HT Buffer Exchanger 5 Part No DC-BX-01-05 Serial No BX05-CX-1022 The Buffer Exchanger (BX5) is an automated fluidic accessory unit that acts as an entry pedestal system for the HT2000. Automation Benefit: It removes the need for operators to manually migrate tube fittings from one fluid reservoir to another mid-protocol. Channel Distribution: It features 5 TRUE channels total. It provides dedicated inlet ports for air, water, and ethanol (EtOH) for automated system maintenance/priming alongside 2 dedicated lines for distinct experimental wash buffers. Integration: Controlled entirely via the HT2000's primary interface, allowing researchers to program complex, multi-step automated liquid exchanges seamlessly
