The systems sample handling technology must be versatile that it would enable commercially available flow cytometers to analyzes samples from 96- or 384 well plates in as little as 3 minutes and 12 minutes respectively, allows researchers to drain and analyze a well of its entire volume which prevents loss of precious cells due to the wasted dead volume necessary in all other plate loaders, conserves expensive reagents with use of low (<15 ul) total volume can be used. Samples the microplate in a continuous fashion, data analysis quickly performed on the entire plate using HyperView companion software.
