Description
The Most Economical Way to Run Your Vi-CELL XR
The Quad Reagent Pack is our best value for labs that run the Beckman Coulter Vi-CELL XR every day. You get four complete reagent packs and 800 sample cups in one shipment, at the lowest cost per sample we offer, with fewer orders and fewer interruptions.
Beckman Coulter declared the Vi-CELL XR obsolete as of December 31, 2022, and has said service and support are expected to continue through December 2027. Thousands of XR analyzers are still in use in cell culture, bioprocessing and research labs. Cell Viability Inc. makes compatible reagent packs and parts so you can keep running the instrument you already own and have validated.
What’s in the Box
- 4 reagent packs, each containing:
- Trypan blue (0.4%)
- Buffer
- Cleaning solution
- Disinfectant
- 800 sample cups (4 bags of 200)
- Certificate of Analysis for the lot
Each pack fits the Vi-CELL XR reagent bay the same way the OEM pack does. No adapters, software changes or recalibration needed.
Who This Pack Is For
- Production, process development and QC labs running cell counts daily
- Core facilities shared across several groups
- Labs that want one lot number across several months of testing
- Anyone building safety stock to keep their Vi-CELL XR running through 2027 and beyond

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this quad pack compatible with my Vi-CELL XR?
Yes. Each reagent pack installs in the Vi-CELL XR reagent bay exactly like the OEM pack and works with the standard Vi-CELL XR software. No settings changes are needed.
Is this a Beckman Coulter product?
No. Cell Viability Inc. makes it independently as a compatible alternative to Beckman Coulter P/N 383722. Vi-CELL is a registered trademark of Beckman Coulter, Inc.
How many samples does the quad pack run?
About 800 samples, roughly 200 per reagent pack, depending on your cell type settings and number of images per sample.
Will my results match OEM reagents?
Our reagents are made to the same functional specifications. Comparison data is on our Certificates page, and we recommend running a few parallel samples as part of your normal change control.
Are all four packs from the same lot?
Yes, each quad pack ships with packs from a single lot and one Certificate of Analysis, so your results stay consistent from pack to pack.
Can I still buy reagents after Beckman ends Vi-CELL XR support in 2027?
Cell Viability Inc. plans to keep making Vi-CELL XR reagents and parts for the installed base. Contact us about standing orders or bulk supply.
Do you offer bulk, standing-order or distributor pricing?
Yes. Call 1-800-618-7660 or email sales@CellViability.com.
