FEATURES
The BD FACSDuet™ Sample Preparation System maximizes your lab’s efficiency

- Intuitive operating system with pre-programmed (only IVD) workflows to minimize staff training time.
- Data integration with LIS from ordered tests to analyzed results based on specimen barcodes and automated worklist preparation.
The BD FACSDuet™ Premium Sample Preparation System also offers automated onboard washing and centrifuging to further enhance your lab’s efficiency.
The BD FACSDuet™ Systems are designed to meet your needs

Deliver required flexibility by supporting a wide range of different types of blood collection tubes from different manufacturers, including BD Vacutainer®, SARSTEDT S-Monovette™, Greiner, and Streck Tubes.
Enable specimen management with tube adaptors. Eight (8) tube adaptors are available, which are barcoded and color coded for easy identification, guaranteeing accurate tube piercing and sample volume dispensing.


The BD FACSDuet™ Systems enable flexibility in specimen and tube loading


to 40 specimen tubes can be accommodated at any given time in four racks holding 10 specimens each, driving workflow efficiency and throughput.
Two types of continuous loading specimen racks are available, one of which is specifically designed for pediatric tubes.


The BD FACSDuet™ Systems allow for traceability of samples and worklist creation


- Automated barcode scanning during rack insertion enables
- Patient specimen traceability
- Specimen dispense management
Retrieving patient and assay information from the laboratory information system (LIS) for automated worklist creation on the BD FACSDuet™ Sample Preparation System and BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometry System.

Automated cocktailing
- The system enables the automated recording of all used antibodies for easier tracking and auditing. Part number, lot number and expiry date of the cocktail are also tracked and recorded to ensure quality and consistency in laboratory workflow.
- Each antibody cocktail can be made from a maximum of 45 unique conjugates in a single cocktailing vial. Users’ cocktail recipes are stored in the software and available for subsequent preparations of the same cocktail, ensuring reproducibility and quality of product independently from the user.
