Full Bidirectional LIS Connectivity

• Automatic retrieval of test requests and transmission of test results
• No need for additional workstations or software to connect to the LIS System
• No need to create or download worklists manually

Automated System Setup

• Preprogrammed protocols per application
• No daily setup reagents required
• No manual system or controls optimization
• Power on, system warmup, load controls, load samples – that’s it!

Smart Track Reagent Monitoring

• Uses a range of barcoded reagents and consumables
• Automatic barcode scanning to track those reagents, lot numbers, open and closed vial expiration dates, and number of tests or volume per reagent container
• Continuous tracking of reagent usage
• Automatic reagent monitoring including the number of tests remaining and warnings when reagents are low, out or expired

Cassette Autoloader

• Total capacity 40 sample tubes
• Accommodates a variety of tube sizes
• Continuous, random loading and unloading
• Separate single-tube loader for STAT samples, open vials, and tubes that are not barcoded

Automated Sample Preparation

• Automatic matching of sample identification code with the test request
• All sample preparation and analysis performed in 96-well microplates
• Automatic launch of applicable testing protocol
• Positive specimen ID and automatic specimen mixing immediately prior to aspiration
• Automatic dispensing and mixing of applicable reagents
• No manual pipetting of primary tubes

Pipeline Sample Processing*

• Eliminate slow, inefficient batch processing of samples
• 20 minutes to the first result after sample load (measured with Tetra-1 or Tetra-2+)
• After the first result, it’s 25 results/hour for up to one full 96-well plate (measured with Tetra Combo)
• Two multitasking probes: one for cap piercing and sample preparation, the other for aspirating prepared samples for analysis
• Each sample is analyzed as soon as it is ready
• Intelligent analysis algorithm sets all gates and regions automatically
• System flags samples that don’t meet autovalidation criteria

Real Time Sample Monitoring

• Intuitive software interface indicates the status of each sample
• Know at a glance where each sample is in the process and how much time until results are available

Comprehensive Quality Control

• Barcode tracking means no manual QC or reagent logs
• Generate a full, easily reviewable audit trail that includes reagent traceability
• Should QC fail, operator is alerted via text message or email

Automate Your Workflow

True load and go workflow automation on the AQUIOS CL allows you to run standardized IVD cleared assays for lymphocyte subset analysis and CD34+ stem cell enumeration. ADS 2.0 additionally allows the usage of customized reagents to automate user defined test.

AQUIOS Tetra Reagents

Fast, Efficient, High Throughput Lymphocyte Subset Analysis

In the clinical management of immune deficiency diseases, accurately counting the absolute cell numbers of leukocyte subsets and measuring the percentage of individual subtypes in blood is critical. The AQUIOS CL flow cytometer in combination with AQUIOS Tetra reagents provides a Single Platform Technology (SPT) for lymphocyte subset analysis and enumeration without the need for counting beads.

AQUIOS Tetra system tests for simultaneous identification and enumeration of T, B, and NK lymphocytes in whole blood are proven for reliability and precision.
