Description
Restore Accurate Fluid Handling on Your Vi-CELL XR
The syringe is the heart of the Vi-CELL XR fluidics. It draws the sample, mixes it with trypan blue, and pushes it through the flow cell for imaging. When the plunger seal wears, volumes drift, bubbles appear, and your counts and viability results lose repeatability. Replacing the syringe is one of the most common and effective Vi-CELL XR repairs, and most labs can do it in-house.
This replacement syringe is a direct, drop-in alternative to Beckman Coulter OEM part number 2400105. It comes with a Teflon washer for a reliable seal and fits the Vi-CELL XR and Vi-CELL AS without modification.
With Beckman Coulter’s Vi-CELL XR service and support expected to end in December 2027, keeping a spare syringe on the shelf is cheap insurance against downtime.
Signs Your Vi-CELL Syringe Needs Replacing
- Fluid leaking around the syringe or valve connection
- Air bubbles visible in the syringe or showing up in images
- Inconsistent cell counts or viability on repeat samples of the same culture
- Sample volume or dilution errors
- Plunger moving unevenly, sticking or making noise
- Visible wear, scoring or discoloration on the plunger tip or seal
If you see any of these, a new syringe is usually the first and least expensive fix to try.
What’s Included
- 1 replacement syringe assembly for Vi-CELL XR / Vi-CELL AS
- 1 Teflon washer
Features
- Drop-in fit: direct replacement for OEM, no system modifications
- Teflon washer: improved sealing to prevent leaks and air ingress
- Precision made: held to tight dimensional tolerances for repeatable volumes
- In-house install: trained lab staff can replace it without a service visit
- Lower cost: well below the OEM price, with US-based support from people who know Vi-CELL hardware
Installation
Syringe replacement takes only a few minutes. Follow the syringe replacement procedure in your Vi-CELL XR operator’s manual and your lab’s SOPs. Turn off the instrument, remove the old syringe, install the new syringe with the Teflon washer, and run a few cleaning cycles and a control sample before returning to routine use. Call us if you have questions; we’re glad to walk you through it.
When to Replace It
Many labs replace the syringe as part of their annual preventive maintenance, or sooner in high-throughput use. Replace it right away if you see leaks, bubbles or a loss of repeatability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this syringe fit my Vi-CELL XR?
Yes. It is a direct replacement for OEM part number 2400105 and fits the Vi-CELL XR and Vi-CELL AS without modification.
Is this a Beckman Coulter part?
No. It is a compatible replacement made for Cell Viability Inc. Vi-CELL is a registered trademark of Beckman Coulter, Inc.
Do I need a service technician to install it?
No. Trained lab staff can usually replace the syringe in a few minutes using the procedure in the operator’s manual.
How often should the syringe be replaced?
Many labs replace it once a year during preventive maintenance, or sooner with heavy use. Replace it immediately if you notice leaks, bubbles or inconsistent results.
My results are still inconsistent after replacing the syringe. What next?
Check for a dirty or scratched flow cell, worn tubing, and reagent pack condition. A damaged flow cell is the next most common cause. See our Replacement Flow Cell for Vi-CELL XR, or call us to troubleshoot.
Can I get support after Beckman ends Vi-CELL XR service in 2027?
Cell Viability Inc. plans to keep supplying Vi-CELL XR parts and reagents for the installed base. Call 1-800-618-7660 or email sales@CellViability.com.
