Highest quality reagents for
routine cytometry applications
Sample Preparation For Every Protocol And Every Lab
Only Coulter offers users a wide choice of sample preparation methods. The COULTER Q-Prep Workstation is the method of choice for single-tube, whole blood lysing, processing samples in just 35 seconds. The multi-Q-Prep provides fully automated processing of up to 32 tubes in less than 22 minutes. It is directly compatible with the MCL Autoloader, making it the ideal choice for high volume laboratories. Both systems feature Coulter's patented no-wash lyse and both provide fast, reproducible results.
In addition, Immunotech's OptiLyse® Reagents offer a manual no-wash lyse system for immunophenotyping applications. For samples requiring a wash, Coulter offers additional sample preparation reagents including the Whole Blood Lysing Reagent Kit and the IOTest Lyse Reagent.
The COULTER Q-Prep Workstation provides fast and reproducible preparation of single or multi-color immunophenotyping samples. The COULTER DNA-Prep Workstation offers standardized staining for nuclei or whole cell suspensions in DNA/cell cycle applications.
Cellular Immunophenotyping
The EPICS XL with SYSTEM II Software, plus Coulter's extensive matrix of monoclonal antibodies and superior sample preparation methods enable all laboratories to bring their immunophenotyping profiles in-house.
In cellular immunophenotyping, where users prefer to configure their own specialized panels of antibodies, Coulter and Immunotech offer the widest selection of T cell, B cell, NK cell, myeloid and progenitor cell markers. It's Your Choice: Superior Analysis In One, Two, Three Or Four Colors
Only Coulter provides single-color conjugates in all 4-colors (FITC, RD1, ECD and PC5). And while some users prefer to mix* their own reagents for multi-color analysis, many choose Coulter's pre-mixed 2, 3 and 4-color products for convenience and lot-to-lot reproducibility. The combination of Coulter and Immunotech lets users have the best of both worlds.
CYTO-STAT Monoclonal Antibodies For Automated Processing
For years, CYTO-STAT Monoclonal Antibody products have proven to be the highest in quality, convenience and consistency. CYTO-STAT products are designed for use with the XL with SYSTEM II Software and are optimized for Coulter's Q-Prep and Multi-Q-Prep no-wash lysing systems. All CYTO-STAT reagents are directly conjugated and are provided in
Retic Stat automatically sets regions for walkaway enumeration of reticulocytes in whole blood. This specimen contained a high white cell count (region L) which did not interfere with the retic calculation since it is excluded by the Retic Stat region (E).

liquid, ready-to-use form. No other reagents can produce faster, more automated results while reducing costly labor and the potential for error.
The IOTest Product Line For The Ultimate In Flexibility
Flow cytometry users worldwide are familiar with Immunotech's vast array of IOTest markers. Offered in a variety of conjugates and product forms, the IOTest line gives users the quality they expect and the earliest access to new, innovative monoclonals. IOTest reagents are formulated for flexibility in methodology, instrument compatibility and application.
