Cytomation Sheath Fluid

Sheath Fluid     Cytomation Sheath Fluid is a sterile, preservative-free concentrate designed specifically for flow cytometers. Its highly concentrated form makes transporting, storing and using sheath fluid easier than ever before.


Highest Quality
Cytomation Sheath Fluid is the highest quality product available for flow cytometer sheath fluid. The phosphate-buffered saline solution is shipped sterile and endotoxin free. The sterile packaging consists of the highest quality non-leeching plastic film, hermetically sealed to retain product sterility. The combination of these characteristics allows our sheath fluid to be preservative-free, without the possibility of contamination. Cytomation Sheath Fluid is the only preservative-free sheath fluid available today.

Convenient
Cytomation Sheath Fluid is shipped highly concentrated to minimize storage requirements. Each package contains two 6 liter bags of 8x concentrate, providing 96 liters of sheath fluid. A laboratory that uses 10 liters of sheath fluid per day can store almost a month’s supply of Cytomation Sheath Fluid in only two 1.3 cubic foot boxes. Moving the units is also easy; a box that will eventually produce 96 liters of sheath fluid weighs less than 30 pounds when received. The Flow-Tec™ bags are designed for easy dispersal of the sheath fluid without mess or difficulty.

Reliable
Cytomation Sheath Fluid is prepared, filtered, and packaged in a Class 10,000 clean room, under stringent controls guided by batch-record directions. Each unit is lot-number traceable to its certification record. The certification process includes analytical testing of each batch to ensure that it meets Cytomation’s stringent specifications for sheath fluid.

Cytometry Supplies
Cytomation Sheath Fluid is the first product in Cytomation’s commitment to provide flow cytometry laboratories with the finest quality supplies for analysis and sorting. Cytomation recognizes that laboratories not only need high quality flow cytometers, but also need high quality supplies for optimal performance.
