    Intended as an aid in the diagnosis of hematological disorders

     

    Overview

    The BD OneFlow™ PCST is part of the innovative BD OneFlow™ Solution, a comprehensive set of reagents, setup beads, protocols and assay templates to reproducibly set up the flow cytometer and stain, acquire and analyze patient specimens for immunophenotyping of normal and aberrant cell populations. It is built on the research and validation work of the EuroFlow™ Consortium on the characterization of hematological malignancies for improved accurate diagnosis.1* 

     

    The BD OneFlow™ PCST is intended for flow cytometric immunophenotyping of normal polyclonal and aberrant plasma cell populations in bone marrow as an aid in the diagnosis of hematological disorders.

     

    Other reagents belonging to the BD OneFlow™ Solution are BD OneFlow™ Lymphoid Screening Tube (LST) , BD OneFlow™ B-cell Chronic Lymphoproliferative Diseases Tube 1 (B-CLPD T1), BD OneFlow™ Plasma Cell Disorders (PCD) Tube and BD OneFlow™ Acute Leukemia Orientation Tube (ALOT).

    FEATURES

    The BD OneFlow™ PCST:

    • Is a preconfigured single-use 8-color reagent comprising two tubes—one containing the cytoplasmic markers (C tube) and the other containing the surface markers (S tube) 

    • Is available in 10 test/box size (4 pouches of 5 tubes each: 2 pouches of S tubes and 2 pouches of C tubes) 

    • Allows for easy visual identification with dark green color-coded boxes, pouches and tubes

    The BD OneFlow™ Reagents increase efficiency by simplifying instrument standardization, reducing the time to prepare the instrument as well as the technical burden and training needs.2

    For BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer users:

    • BD® CS&T IVD Beads standardize setup and monitoring for consistent performance and ensure reproducibility through Universal Setup
    • BD® FC Beads (7-Color, 5-Color and 2-Color Kits) support consistency of results, eliminating the need for using cells for compensation
    • BD® CS&T Beads and BD® FC Beads kits necessary for instrument setup and compensation can be used for other BD CE-IVD assays on the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer

     

    For BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometer users:

    • BD FACSDiva™ CS&T IVD Beads standardize setup and monitoring for consistent performance and ensure reproducibility with Application Settings
    • BD OneFlow™ Setup Beads ensure data accuracy and reproducibility by providing assay-specific target values, as per EuroFlow™ SOPs.3
    • The specifically designed BD® FC Beads 8-Color Kit eliminates the need for using single-vial reagents and cells for compensation

    APPLICATIONS

    BD OneFlow™ PCST Lab Report (normal specimens) when used with the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer

    Laboratory report of a normal bone marrow specimen stained with the 8-color 8-antibody BD OneFlow™ PCST single-test reagent acquired on the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer with BD FACSuite™ Clinical Application v1.4 for the identification of normal polyclonal and aberrant plasma cell populations.
    BD OneFlow™ PCST Lab Report (abnormal specimens) when used with the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer

    Laboratory report of an abnormal bone marrow specimen stained with the 8-color 8-antibody BD OneFlow™ PCST single-test reagent acquired on the BD FACSLyric™ Flow Cytometer with BD FACSuite™ Clinical Application v1.4 for the identification of normal polyclonal and aberrant plasma cell populations.
    BD OneFlow™ Reagents can be run on both the BD FACSLyric™ and BD FACSCanto™ II Flow Cytometers with equivalent results.
