Blue®Plate

Cell Wash for Flow Cytometry

Blue®Plate enables fully automated, high-throughput cell washes for flow cytometry with minimal cell loss or damage and highly effective background removal

The SLAS2024 New Product Award winning Blue®Plate is now available as 8-well strips in regular and deep well 96w formats and 16-well strips/ 384w format. Improved geometries achieve >95% cell retention per wash step.

Blue®Plate enables fully automated, high-throughput cell washes for flow cytometry with minimal cell loss or damage and highly effective background removal.

Blue®Plate workflows are faster and more cost effective than conventional workflows due to tip and labor savings. The new strip format allows users to save cost when preparing only few samples.

>95% CELL RETENTION

per wash step

Demonstrated > 95% retention per wash step (>88% for 3 wash steps)

Less cell clumping -> more effective re-suspension

Workflow:

Cell spin-down: 30 sec at1000g (1min total, Biomat benchtop centrifuge)
Media removal: 4 turns with Blue®Washer
Cell re-suspension: Blue®Washer dispenser, manual pipette after last wash

7x faster

… vs. conventional, manual flow sample prep: instead of 5min pelletization/ centrifugation, cell spin-down for 10-30sec at 1000g

Faster workflow

Less human error

Workflow:

3x cell wash
- Manual pipette: 27min
- Blue®Plate: 2min with Blue®Washer & Blue®Fuge
Incubation: 10min both

BETTER DATA

… vs. conventional, manual flow sample prep: instead of 5min pelletization/ centrifugation, cell spin-down for 10-30sec at 1000g

No shift in subpopulations

Less cell stress, as shown by …

Blue®Plate

FOR FLOW CYTOMETRY AUTOMATED WORKFLOW

1

Spin cells into
Cell®Safe

10-30 seconds at 1000g
(total time depending on centrifuge acceleration)

Load Blue®Plate into centrifuge to settle cells into Cell®Safe reservoirs at the bottom of the Blue®Plate

2

remove all medium above Cell®Safe

30 seconds

Cell®Safe reservoirs at the bottom of Blue®Plate wells safely retain cells while the Blue®Washer centrifugally evacuates all of the liquid above the reservoirs

3

re-suspend cells
out of Cell®Safe

15 seconds

The Blue®Washer dispenser quickly re-suspends cells for subsequent washes,
efficiently mixing them with wash buffer
