AQUIOS PLG (PanLeukoGating)

• Integrated fully automated sample preparation system - no sample preparation necessary, reducing operator exposure to biohazards.
• 72 h post draw testing window - percent & absolute CD4 values on aged patient specimens to support even your remote blood draw needs.
• Simple, affordable testing - takes CD4 monitoring to new places.
• Less than 35 minutes to % CD4 and absolute CD counts - gives healthcare workers critical information while the patient is still on site.

Monitoring CD4 lymphocyte counts is essential in providing critical information that impacts patient care. CD4 monitoring allows caregivers to know when the disease transforms and stage its progression so they can implement the most appropriate intervention. Beckman Coulter has been providing cost effective solutions to monitor CD4 status in resource limited countries for several decades. The mounting HIV problem in these regions of the world has led to innovative solutions with a mission to deliver patient care.

The AQUIOS CL Load & Go flow cytometer is an all-in-one solution that incorporates automated loading, sample preparation, reagent management, barcode scanning, data analysis, and full LIS connectivity.

• Reducing potential user error by eliminating numerous manual steps to set up and run.
• Enhanced productivity with high-throughput performance by eliminating the least efficient features of existing systems.
• Learn in as little as one day for skilled flow cytometrists with computer based training videos.

The CARES initiative was launched and driven by a social and civic responsibility to support the fight against HIV/AIDS. Public and private partnerships are being explored to identify areas for Beckman Coulter to contribute for the broader purpose. We seek to develop alliances with non-governmental organizations (NGO’s), implementing partners, and health policy organizations to align our efforts.
