Beckman Coulter Vi-Cell Single Reagent Pack with 120 Sample Vials

Beckman Coulter 383260 Vi-Cell Single Reagent Pack – Includes 120 Sample Vials

The Beckman Coulter 383260 is an integrated reagent and consumable kit designed for the automated determination of cell viability and concentration using the Vi-Cell series of analyzers. This pack utilizes the industry-standard Trypan Blue dye-exclusion method, where the analyzer’s high-resolution imaging system distinguishes between viable (unstained) and non-viable (stained) cells. The 383260 kit is engineered as a convenient, ready-to-use solution, ensuring consistent dye concentration and automated reagent handling to minimize operator variability. Accompanied by 120 specialized sample vials, this pack provides a complete consumable set for bioprocess monitoring, cell therapy research, and general laboratory cell maintenance.

Technical Performance and Design

• Validated Dye Formulation: Contains a high-purity, filtered Trypan Blue solution optimized for the Vi-Cell optical system, ensuring high-contrast imaging and accurate automated counting.

• Closed-System Integration: The reagent pack is designed for direct installation into the analyzer, utilizing an automated piercing mechanism that prevents evaporation and environmental contamination of the dye.

• Matched Consumables: Includes 120 precision-molded sample vials that are dimensionally optimized for the Vi-Cell carousel, ensuring smooth mechanical transport and proper focal alignment during imaging.

• Standardized Methodology: Enables repeatable and reproducible results across multiple shifts and operators by eliminating the manual mixing and dilution errors associated with traditional hemocytometry.
