BD OneFlow™ Plasma Cell Screening Tube (PCST)
Intended as an aid in the diagnosis of haematological disorders
For Professionals in Clinical Diagnostics
Overview
The BD OneFlow™ PCST is part of the innovative BD OneFlow™ Solution, a comprehensive set of reagents, setup beads, protocols and assay templates to reproducibly set up the flow cytometer and stain, acquire and analyze patient specimens for immunophenotyping of normal and aberrant cell populations. It is built on the research and validation work of the EuroFlow™ Consortium on the characterization of hematological malignancies for improved accurate diagnosis.1*
The BD OneFlow™ PCST is intended for flow cytometric immunophenotyping of normal polyclonal and aberrant plasma cell populations in bone marrow as an aid in the diagnosis of hematological disorders.
Other reagents belonging to the BD OneFlow™ Solution are BD OneFlow™ B-cell Chronic Lymphoproliferative Diseases Tube 1 (B-CLPD T1), BD OneFlow™ Plasma Cell Screening Tube (PCST), BD OneFlow™ Plasma Cell Disorders (PCD) Tube and BD OneFlow™ Acute Leukemia Orientation Tube (ALOT).
FEATURES
The BD OneFlow™ PCST:
Is a preconfigured single-use 8-color reagent comprising two tubes—one containing the cytoplasmic markers (C tube) and the other containing the surface markers (S tube)
Is available in 10 test/box size (4 pouches of 5 tubes each: 2 pouches of S tubes and 2 pouches of C tubes)
Allows for easy visual identification with dark green color-coded boxes, pouches and tubes
The BD OneFlow™ Reagents increase efficiency by simplifying instrument standardisation, reducing the time to prepare the instrument as well as the technical burden and training needs.2
For BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer users:
- BD® CS&T IVD Beads standardise setup and monitoring for consistent performance and ensure reproducibility through Universal Setup
- BD® FC Beads (7-Color, 5-Color and 2-Color Kits) support consistency of results, eliminating the need for using cells for compensation
- BD® CS&T Beads and BD® FC Beads kits necessary for instrument setup and compensation can be used for other BD CE-IVD assays on the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer
For BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer users:
- BD FACSDiva™ CS&T IVD Beads standardise setup and monitoring for consistent performance and ensure reproducibility with Application Settings
- BD OneFlow™ Setup Beads ensure data accuracy and reproducibility by providing assay-specific target values, as per EuroFlow™ SOPs3
- The specifically designed BD® FC Beads 8-Color Kit eliminates the need for using single-vial reagents and cells for compensation
