Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometry relies on a fluidic architecture with multiple pumps to maintain a steady stream of sheath fluid. A common problem engineers encounter is pulsations that disrupt the analysis, which results in wasted buffer solution and additional time to rerun tests. By carefully selecting and configuring our pumps, we can customize solutions that dampen pulsations for the continuous flow required in this application.
With over 65 years of experience, we've partnered with engineers on hundreds of different projects. Want to learn more? Contact us today.
Case Study
Solving Crystallization in Diagnostic Applications
Problem:
A large clinical diagnostics laboratory faced a significant challenge of crystallization in their immunoassay analyzer’s fluidic chamber. These salt-based reagents tended to cause the pumps to leak or seize, leading to unreliable test results and increased maintenance costs.
Solution:
Fluid Metering customized the fixed dispense pump (STF) with a better sealing surface that effectively prevented air from entering the system to minimize leakage. By collaborating with the laboratory's engineers, the innovative design ensured that the pump would integrate seamlessly into the existing instrument for continuous operation and reduce the likelihood of seizing.
