      Automated cocktailing

      The BD FACSDuet™ Sample Preparation System allows for on-board automated antibody cocktail preparation eliminating the risk of errors due to manual pipetting.
       
      • 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.
