Testing performed by our in-house service team:

The FlexMAP 3D Flow-Based Bead Reader passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:

- We verified a stable and successful connection to the control software.
- We evaluated the creation and execution of user-defined routines.
- We assessed the report generation function for proper data logging and export.
- We performed a thorough cleaning of the internal fluidic pathways.
- We inspected the sheath pressure regulation to confirm consistent operational control.
- We tested fluidics functionality to ensure accurate sample handling and flow.
- We completed the laser warm-up sequence and verified proper laser power output.
- We confirmed precise laser alignment for optimal signal performance.
- We executed the system calibration procedure to recommended standards.
- We conducted a full performance verification.

WHY DO CUSTOMERS MAKING CRITICAL LAB PURCHASES CHOOSE TO ORDER MULTIPLEX ANALYZERS FROM US?

They want to ensure the fluidics system undergoes full decontamination, flushing, and inspection to protect the valves and flow sensors from damage.

They want to ensure the fluidics system has no residual sheath salt buildup in the flow cell, which could skew scatter data and, if improperly cleaned, can damage the flow cell.

They want to confirm that all detectors, including reporters, classification detectors, and doublet discrimination detectors, can be aligned and calibrated for particle sizing and granularity resolution.

They want assurance that baseline performance has been verified using standardized particles, with data or log files available for review.

They want to confirm that electronic noise and EMI levels at the detector/amplifier stage remain within tolerance and will not distort signal fidelity.

They want to confirm that no power degradation or misalignment in laser paths is detected through precise mW-level measurement at the final optics output.

They want to ensure that optical filters and dichroic mirrors have been inspected for delamination or contamination that could compromise signal specificity.

They want to ensure that the sample flow rate is linear and stable across the full range of flow settings, verified through pressure profiling.

They want to ensure the system passes automated QC and performance tracking with reproducible CVs for bead standards across multiple channels.

They want to ensure the fluidics pump assembly does not exhibit pulsation, drift, or backpressure due to check valve wear or micro-leaks.

They want peace of mind, knowing their instrument is backed by a warranty from a company that can stand behind it.
