CellStream

Rapid sample preparation instrument to isolate and stain target cells (e.g. Legionella) from a water sample. Our instrument works in conjunction with our reagent kits and microfluidic cartridges for a complete solution, enabling the user to isolate and stain target cells (e.g. Legionella) from a water sample. The concentrated and purified sample can be directly quantified with a standard flow cytometer. Alternatively, the sample can be analyzed via ISO plating or PCR. Our disposable and convenient-to-use microfluidic cartridges enable the user to perform fully automated immunomagnetic separations (IMS) at a high throughput, resulting in isolated samples with greater than 99% purity and over 80% recovery rates. Four samples can be processed in parallel with never-before-seen process stability. rqmicro's first flag-ship product revolutionizes microbiological sample preparation: • Quantitative detection of Legionella in 1-2 hours • Discrimination of viable and dead cells • Highly specific monoclonal antibodies • Recoveries exceeding 80% • Easy and safe sample handling due to disposable cartridges Country of Origin: Switzerland
