BECKMAN COULTER Vi-Cell XR Used Working Vi-Cell Series Cell Analyzer

Product Overview

The Beckman Coulter Vi-Cell XR is a sophisticated, automated cell viability analyzer that utilizes the industry-standard Trypan Blue Dye Exclusion method. Designed for high-precision biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, the "XR" (Extended Range) model significantly improves upon previous versions by detecting cells as small as 2 microns. This video-imaging system automates sample preparation, staining, and counting, providing rapid and objective results that eliminate the human error inherent in manual hemacytometer methods. This Used - Working unit is ideal for bioprocess monitoring, cell culture passage, and R&D applications where consistency is critical.

Key Features

• Automated Trypan Blue Staining: Fully automates the aspiration, mixing, and loading process, ensuring highly repeatable results across different operators.
• Extended Size Range: Capable of analyzing a wide variety of cell species, including mammalian, insect, and yeast cells, with a detection range of 2.0 to 70.0 μm.
• 12-Position Autosampler: Features an integrated carousel that allows for "walk-away" analysis of up to 12 samples in a single queue.
• Real-Time Imaging: High-resolution CCD camera (1394 x 1040) provides real-time cellular images, allowing users to visually verify cell declustering and morphology.
• Regulatory Compliance: 21 CFR Part 11 enabled software includes audit trails, electronic signatures, and secure user sign-on for use in validated environments.

Item Condition (Used/Working)

• Functional Status: Bench-tested and confirmed to power on and initialize. The internal fluidics (sipper arm and syringe) and the 12-position autosampler move smoothly.
• Physical State: Shows standard laboratory use; the casing is clean with no significant staining. The internal flow cell and optical path are clear and unobstructed.
• Visual Reference: Please examine the provided photos to see the actual unit and its current software/firmware version displayed on screen; the unit pictured is the exact one you will receive.
• Note: As with all precision liquid handling instruments, a full system cleaning and calibration using Vi-Cell Concentration Control beads is recommended before production use.
