About us

 How we pack

They want to ensure the cytometer undergoes full fluidics system decontamination, flushing, and inspection to protect the valves and flow sensors from damage.

They want to ensure the cytometer has no residual sheath salt buildup in the flow cell, which could skew scatter data and, and if improperly cleaned, can damage the flow cell.

They want to confirm that all detectors, including forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) detectors, can be aligned and calibrated for particle sizing and granularity resolution.

They want assurance that baseline performance has been verified using standardized particles, with data or log files available for review.

They want to confirm that electronic noise and EMI levels at the detector/amplifier stage remain within tolerance and will not distort signal fidelity.

They want to ensure that no fiber optic cables are missing, misrouted, or defective, which can lead to diminished fluorophore excitation or signal dropout.

They want to confirm that no power degradation or misalignment in laser paths is detected through precise mW-level measurement at the final optics output.

They want to ensure that optical filters and dichroic mirrors have been inspected for delamination, spectral shift, or contamination that could compromise signal specificity.

They want to ensure the sample flow rate is linear and stable across a full range of flow settings, verified with volumetric calibration and pressure profiling.

They want to ensure the system passes automated QC and performance tracking with reproducible CVs for bead standards across multiple channels.

They want to ensure the fluidics pump assembly does not exhibit pulsation, drift, or backpressure due to check valve wear or micro-leaks.

They want peace of mind, knowing their instrument is backed by a warranty from a company that can stand behind it.
