Flow cytometry sample preparation.
During antibody incubation, thetaFlex delivers continuous gentle mixing to prevent cell sedimentation and hold uniform binding — replacing the offline "water bath + shaker" with one unattended, automated step from incubation through washing.
Sample preparation
Plate loaded and clamped in situ.
Antibody incubation
Heating + gentle mixing.
Antibody washing
Mixing between wash cycles.
Sample collection
Ready for detection.
