VCS Technology Separates Beckman Coulter From The Rest
VCS Technology is the most powerful tool available for blood cell analysis. This proprietary technology offers the greatest sensitivity, specificity and efficiency of any differential system available today. VCS Optimization (patent pending) ensures even more robust performance from this unique combination of technologies, providing even fewer reviews.
What makes VCS so exceptional and useful? The VCS module is a unique flow cytometer. A structural combination in which a biological sample in the form of a hydrodynamically-focused stream of particles is passed into and through a point-focused laser beam.
Electrically conductive contacts within the fluid stream pathway provide simultaneous electrical pulse outputs as the result of Coulter DC Volume and Coulter RF/DC (radio frequency/direct current) interrogation of each cell.
These three output signals are then combined to define WBC subpopulations, effectively distinguishing the five principal white blood cell types: lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils.
VCS is a superior, single channel technology, a patented system for the detection of white cell subpopulations and an open architecture system which provides the platform for other types of breakthrough analyses such as the reticulocyte count.
