Beckman Coulter Case Study

Small Business Health Care Company finds setting up high-content assays easier than before since using the DxFLEX

Introduction

This case study of a small business health care company is based on a June 2019 survey of Beckman Coulter customers by TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled company asked to have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“DxFLEX helped us to set up the challenging MRD application.”

“The field-upgradeable configurations will allow DxFLEX to grow with my lab’s requirements.”

Challenges

The business challenges that led the profiled company to evaluate and ultimately select Beckman Coulter’s DxFLEX:

  • Factors that contributed to their decision to purchase the DxFLEX:
    • Small footprint
    • Ease of use
    • Sample loading options

Use Case

The key features and functionalities of DxFLEX that the surveyed company uses:

  • Analyzing 51–100 samples on the DxFLEX per week.
  • Instruments they also considered when purchasing a new flow cytometer:
    • NovoCyte® Flow Cytometer

Results

The surveyed company achieved the following results with DxFLEX:

  • Overall lab productivity increased with DxFLEX by 10-25%.
  • Setting up high-content assays is easier than before since using the DxFLEX.
  • DxFLEX was easy for our lab personnel to learn and master.
  • High-color applications accessible to flow cytometry newcomers.
  • Instrument setup and workflow improves the user’s learning curve.
  • Compensating high-color applications is much simpler.
