Description
Quad Reagent Pack for Vi-CELL XR (800 Sample Cups)
Vi-CELL XR Reagent Kit (Compatible with 383722) – Complete Quad Pack Solution
Maintain accurate and consistent cell viability measurements with this Quad Reagent Pack for the Vi-CELL XR, designed as a cost-effective alternative to Beckman Coulter Part #383722.
This complete reagent kit includes all required solutions and consumables for automated trypan blue cell viability analysis, supporting up to 800 samples in routine laboratory workflows.
What’s Included in the Kit
This Vi-CELL XR reagent kit provides a complete solution for cell viability testing:
- 4 reagent packs (trypan blue, buffer, cleaning, disinfectant)
- 800 sample cups (4 × 200 cups)
- Pre-configured for automated operation
- Designed for consistent and repeatable results
OEM kits typically include trypan blue, buffer, disinfectant, and cleaning agents required for proper system function.
Designed for Vi-CELL XR Compatibility
- Compatible with Beckman Coulter Vi-CELL XR and Vi-CELL systems
- Equivalent to OEM Quad Pack (Part #383722)
- Supports standard trypan blue dye exclusion method
- Seamless integration into existing workflows
The Vi-CELL XR uses automated imaging and trypan blue staining to determine cell viability, making reagent quality critical to performance.
Why Reagent Quality Matters
Reagents are at the core of the Vi-CELL XR measurement process. Poor-quality or degraded reagents can lead to:
- Inconsistent viability results
- Increased background or noise
- Flow cell contamination
- Instrument errors or maintenance issues
High-quality reagents ensure:
- Accurate cell viability measurements
- Stable instrument performance
- Reproducible results across runs
Cost-Effective Alternative to OEM Reagents
This reagent kit provides a practical alternative to Beckman Coulter reagents:
- Lower cost per sample
- Equivalent workflow compatibility
- Includes sample cups (often purchased separately)
- Designed for routine lab use
OEM reagent kits are widely used for validated workflows, but many labs adopt compatible alternatives to reduce operating costs.
Optimized for High-Throughput Labs
- Supports up to 800 samples per kit
- Ideal for routine cell culture monitoring
- Suitable for biopharma production and R&D
- Helps streamline lab operations and reduce downtime
Applications
- Mammalian cell culture monitoring
- Biopharmaceutical manufacturing
- Cell therapy workflows
- Research and development laboratories
Frequently Asked Questions – Vi-CELL XR Reagent Kit
What reagents are included in the Vi-CELL XR reagent kit?
The kit includes:
- Trypan blue stain
- Buffer solution
- Cleaning solution
- Disinfectant
These are the core reagents required for automated cell viability analysis.
How many samples can this kit run?
This quad pack supports approximately 800 samples, depending on usage and workflow.
Is this kit compatible with the Vi-CELL XR?
Yes. This kit is designed as a compatible alternative to Beckman Coulter 383722 and works with Vi-CELL XR systems.
What is the trypan blue method?
The Vi-CELL XR uses the trypan blue dye exclusion method, where:
- Live cells exclude the dye
- Dead cells absorb the dye
This allows automated determination of cell viability.
Why are sample cups included?
Sample cups are required for automated analysis. Including them:
- Simplifies purchasing
- Ensures compatibility
- Reduces the need for separate orders
How often should reagents be replaced?
Reagents are consumables and should be replaced:
- When depleted
- If expired
- If performance issues occur
Can using non-OEM reagents affect performance?
Performance depends on reagent quality. High-quality compatible reagents are designed to:
- Maintain accuracy
- Prevent system contamination
- Support reliable operation
Is this an OEM Beckman Coulter product?
No. This is a compatible reagent kit, designed to provide equivalent functionality at a lower cost.
