iQue® 3Faster, Smarter
Flow Cytometry

Advanced HighThroughput Flow
Cytometry Solution
Speeds Up Your
Entire Workflow
Whether you are discovering a new therapeutic
antibody, developing a specific checkpoint
inhibitor or evaluating CAR T cell function,
driving your research forward hinges on theability to rapidly evaluate more samples in abiologically relevant, reproducible, and costeffective way.
Meet the iQue® 3. The most advanced flow
cytometry platform with a focus on speed fromsetup, to acquisition, and analysis. To get you
from samples to actionable results in record
time. The iQue® 3 combines a patented sampling
method, which allows for the fastest sample
acquisition in the industry. It has the ability tohandle 96, 384, or 1536-well plates, and enables
continuous plate loading through connection
with any automation system.
Don’t simply move the bottleneck to spendingdays on data analysis as with other systems.
Speed up your entire workflow by upgrading
your flow cytometry experiments on theiQue® 3.

Speed
Relieve capacity
bottlenecks throughout
your entire experiment withthe fastest plate sampling,
integrated analysis, andnovel data reduction tools.

Miniaturization
Conserve precious
samples and reagents bysampling as little as a single
microliter from miniaturized
assay volumes.

Content
Generate more biologically
relevant data throughsimultaneous measure­ment of phenotypes andcytokines in the same well.

Usability
Enjoy a simple, scalable,
multi-user environment
with walkaway automation
features including 48 hour
uninterrupted run times
and automated QC beadvortexing on-board.

Insight
Dramatically reducetime to decision withnovel visualizations thatfacilitate the fastest
path to actionable
results, even fromcomplex data sets.

The iQue® 3:
Built to AccelerateYour ResearchWith unique sample-handling features,
intelligent processing, and automatedtemplate-based analysis, the iQue® 3
gets you from samples to actionable
results faster than ever before.

-The iQue® 3 is a simple, scalable,
multi-user environment featuring
walkaway automation, comprehensive
analysis and visualization tools that are
not available in traditional flow
cytometers.
Walk up and use operation eliminates
the need for pre-analytical user setup
and power users.
Patented, rapid microvolume sampling
processes 96-well plates in as few as
5 minutes or 384-well plates in
20 minutes.
The iQue® 3 comes in flexible plate
formats and is suitable for a broad
range of cell and bead-based analyses.

Minimal volume sampling capabilities,
as little as 1 μL, conserve samples andreagent costs.

Robotic integration capabilities enablehigh throughput applications.

Onboard vortexing just prior tosampling ensures proper resuspension
and delivers improved QC results andconsistency.

Extended run time on cartridges
allows for unattended multiple plate
processing. Liquid level detection
and user-definable low-level warnings
help ensure there are always enoughreagents to complete planned runs.

Samples are delivered to detectors
in an air-gap delimited stream as partof a patented, rapid microvolume
sampling process.

The iQue® 3:
Get to Your Destination Faster
The iQue® 3 comes in multiple optical configurations and flexible plate
formats to match the diverse needs of researchers. The platform deliversa consistent process that translates into time and resource savings, withadditional options like robotic integration, increased fluidic capacity, andcentralized data storage that further extend productivity.
