Beckman Vi-CELL XR Overview
Grade:
• Research Grade Cell Viability Analyzer
The Vi-CELL XR by Beckman:
The Beckman Vi-CELL XR, when integrated into a laboratory, offers a host of benefits that streamline and enhance cell viability analysis. By automating the traditionally manual trypan blue dye exclusion method, this device ensures consistent accuracy, significantly reducing the likelihood of human error. Its capability for high-throughput processing is particularly advantageous for labs handling large numbers of samples, and the required small sample volume ensures precious cells are conserved. With user-friendly software, data management becomes simpler and more efficient, while the overall system integration can lead to long-term time and cost savings. The Vi-CELL XR is not only an asset in terms of its analytical precision but also in its ability to boost laboratory productivity and reliability.

The Beckman Vi-CELL XR Cell Viability Analyzer is predominantly designed for the trypan blue dye exclusion method of cell viability determination with several key features:
• Automated Viability Analysis: The Vi-CELL XR automates the trypan blue dye exclusion method, which is a standard technique for determining cell viability. This feature reduces manual workload and enhances repeatability.
• Image Analysis: The instrument utilizes image analysis to differentiate between live and dead cells based on trypan blue staining. The software captures images of cells and assesses their viability accordingly.
• High Throughput: The Vi-CELL XR can process multiple samples in quick succession, making it suitable for labs with high sample loads.
• Small Sample Volume: It requires a relatively small sample volume for analysis, preserving precious samples.
• User-friendly Software: The Vi-CELL XR comes equipped with intuitive software that offers a range of customizable settings, including setting cell size thresholds to differentiate between debris and viable cells.
• Automated Cleaning and Maintenance: The system includes automated routines for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring the instrument remains in optimal condition and reduces the risk of contamination.
• Accurate and Repeatable: Through automation and advanced analysis algorithms, the instrument offers high accuracy and repeatability in its measurements, reducing variability often seen in manual methods.
• Integrated Sample Mixing: Before analysis, the instrument ensures the sample is homogenous by automatically mixing it, ensuring that the results are representative of the entire sample.
• Flexibility: It's adaptable for various cell types, including mammalian cells and certain yeast types. Users can adjust settings to cater to different cell sizes and morphologies.
These key features make the Beckman Vi-CELL XR a sought-after instrument for laboratories involved in cell culture and other fields where understanding cell health and viability is critical.
