Can the ForeCyt by Sartorius (IntelliCyt Software) be used with the KX2 robot?

The ForeCyt flow cytometer from Sartorius, which utilizes IntelliCyt Software, can be seamlessly automated using the KX2 robot and software by PAA (Peak Analysis & Automation). PAA offers a comprehensive platform for integrating and controlling laboratory instruments, including flow cytometers like the ForeCyt. By leveraging PAA, tasks such as sample preparation, analysis, and data collection can be fully automated, enabling high-throughput and precise cellular analysis workflows. This automation enhances workflow efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and ensures consistent and reproducible results across experiments. Integrating the ForeCyt with PAA allows researchers to streamline their flow cytometry workflows, optimize experimental parameters, and accelerate research in areas such as immunology, oncology, and drug discovery. Ultimately, this integration leads to improved productivity, accuracy, and faster experimental outcomes, enabling more efficient and effective scientific investigations.
