I don't know if the flowcell was a separate item or not, it was part of a biohazard containment system which may still be available. The flowcell fits on the nozzle holder in place of a standard nozzle and has a tube to carry the waste away instead of the more familiar "squirt into the bucket" principle. I have one, but I'm a bit far away to loan it to you. There must be some in cupboards around North America....
