The Beckman Coulter Quanta SC Flow Cytometer is in need of extensive repairs and will be sold for parts/as-is. The cosmetic condition of the instrument is good, but full functionality cannot be verified. The instrument powers on, initializes, and the software opens and reports back without issue. The glass capillary broke off into the flow cell and there is glass lodged within. A new capillary will need to be purchased after removing the glass pieces. The system will not be sold with a laser power source attached. Several minor repairs may need to occur before operation such as, but not limited to, the replacement of screws. New
Life Scientific technicians were able to pull liquids out of it and
initialize pumping, but without the capillary no further testing was
performed. Currently, the full extent of the damage cannot be determined, but this is an excellent opportunity for the right repair service or technician to acquire a valuable instrument.
Included with purchase is a computer with the software, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. The software version is Cell Lab Quanta SC Software v. 1.0.
A fully functional flow cytometer uses the Coulter Principle for cell sizing and counting, a method renowned for its precision and the ability to remain unaffected by shape, color, or refractive index. There are violet to red filters optimized for fluorescent measurements. All live and dead cells can be differentiated with both propidium iodide and 7-aminoactinomycin D.
