4. Washing

Automated washing and drying steps for reduced data variability

• Washing takes place in an ozone-controlled environment avoiding degradation of fluorescent dyes
• An automated washing system eliminates manual sample handling – ensuring batch to batch reproducibility
• Temperatures of wash buffers and reagents, washing times, agitation rates and centrifuge/drying conditions are all closely monitored and reported via LIMS, as part of QC.
