DxFLEX Workflow

Start-Up

  • Running the Daily Set Up procedure primes and cleans the system and warms up the lasers
  • Operator is notified when the fluidic system is stable and the instrument is ready

Instrument QC

  • Use Levey-Jennings charts to monitor performance indicators for several instruments
  • Daily QC procedure assesses laser power, laser delay, rCV of all fluorescent channels
  • Use the Standardization procedure to monitor Median Fluorescent Intensity (MFI) and track gain changes

Acquisition

  • Automated sampling* for walk away processing, tube carousel and 96-well plates supported 
  • Display up to 500,000 events on the plots during acquisition to help identify small populations 
  • Compensation automatically adjusts based upon instrument settings 
  • Compensation Library stores values for single color controls, which can be applied to future analyses

DxFLEX Standardization

Standardization Method. The workflow includes tools to incorporate assay controls used to monitor results and maintain assay stability.

Analysis

  • Gates on acquisition sheets are linked to report sheets 
  • Store up to 25 million events per file with 13 colors, more events can be saved when using less channels
  • Plots on the reports are linked to the acquisition page so that changes are reflected on the report
  • Free CytExpert for DxFLEX software can be installed on any computer and used to analyze exported data

Reporting

  • User Accounts provide controlled access and tracks user activities
  • Reference Ranges can be saved in the report, with out of range results flagged for easy identification 
  • Panel Experiment used to report multi-tube acquisitions per sample 
  • Automatic export function saves data in a user defined location 
  • Reports can be exported as PDF, CSV, graphics file

Maintenance

  • Preventive Maintenance (PM) can be performed by operators
  • Interface reminds operators when PM is due
  • Cleaning Solution use is calculated, operators are notified to replenish
