CellMek SPS System: A View Under the Hood
The CellMek SPS system fits a wide variety of sample preparation applications in the clinical flow cytometry lab. With the Panel Designer Software, you can design your own protocols and set up optional steps such:
- RBC lysis
- Washing steps
- Addition of counting beads
- Antibody volumes to pipet

- You can introduce samples through tube-specific cassettes—loading up to 6 cassettes with 5 specimen tubes each.
- You can continuously load cassettes, and the system provides automated rocking and cap piercing, eliminating the need to manually unscrew specimen tube caps.
- Because the CellMek SPS Sample Preparation System takes care of scheduling, there’s no need to batch specimens by application.
- When samples are prepared, all you have to do is move the tube carousel to the flow cytometer for analysis. And because mixing and incubations are performed in the reaction plates, you can request release of the output carousel anytime to start analyzing the first set of samples while the prep system continues preparing more samples for a new carousel.
