Abstract: In some embodiments, a plurality of smart flow cytometers are coupled into communication with a computer communication network. A central repair server system is coupled into communication with the computer communication network and the plurality of smart flow cytometers. Each of the plurality of smart flow cytometers includes a monitoring system coupled to monitor differing operational parameters of the smart flow cytometer for possible failure. The monitoring system can detect an advanced failure of components based on the operational parameters being monitored. The monitoring system can also detect an advanced need for repair and maintenance based on the operational parameters being monitored.

Abstract: A smart flow cytometer is disclosed including a plurality of tanks holding fluids for operation of a flow cytometer; a plurality of level sensors respectively coupled to the plurality of tanks; a plurality of valves coupled to one or more tubes for operation of the flow cytometer; one or more flow sensors coupled to the one or more tubes for monitoring flow rates; and a microcontroller coupled to the plurality of level sensors and the one or more flow sensors. The microcontroller constantly monitors fluid levels of the plurality of tanks to detect when to refill a fluid in a first tank before the first tank is completely empty and to detect when to empty a second tank before the second tank becomes completely filled with a waste fluid.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a smart flow cytometer includes a monitoring system to monitor differing operational parameters of the smart flow cytometer to detect an advanced failure of components and an advanced need for maintenance. In others, a smart flow cytometer includes a quality control system including a reservoir of quality control beads to periodically run a validation test with the quality control beads in order to determine the ability of the flow cytometer to generate quality data output from a plurality of light detectors. In some embodiments, a plurality of smart flow cytometers are coupled into communication with a computer communication network; a central repair server system is coupled into communication with the computer communication network and the plurality of smart flow cytometers; wherein each of the plurality of smart flow cytometers includes a monitoring system coupled to monitor differing operational parameters of the smart flow cytometer for possible failure.
