Challenge

The CytoFLEX platform from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is a market-leading flow cytometry platform powered by a unique collection of innovative technologies. The CytoFLEX platform offers versatility, exceptional detection capabilities, low maintenance, automated sample processing, and a comprehensive software subsystem for device control and data analysis. In an effort to gain market advantage over competing third party data analysis products, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences initiated a project with Triple Ring that demanded multiple disciplines collaborating closely and moving quickly. Deploying experts in optics, algorithm development, data science, and software development Triple Ring created algorithms which enable Beckman Coulter Life Sciences to flexibly address multiple high-value customer use cases in the future.

 

Value Propositions

Triple Ring blended deep optics know-how with advanced algorithm and software engineering to turn Beckman Coulter’s vision for next-generation CytoFLEX analytics into reality.

  • Proven experience developing robust constrained, ill-posed optimization algorithms for real-world data
  • Rapid creation of high-value IP and products that expand market share and support long-term growth
  • Future proofing of legacy hardware through addition of advanced software and algorithms
  • Flexible software development capabilities to support varying levels of stringency, from engineering tools to regulated medical device software

Background

A key to the longstanding market success of the CytoFLEX platform from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is a sophisticated data analysis software suite that allows users to predict unknown properties of their test samples. At project initiation, Triple Ring was tasked with designing algorithms to expand the number of high-value customer use cases from two to ten. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences expects that the new use cases will enable the capture of market value held by third-party solutions. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences chose to work with Triple Ring due to our versatile expertise in optics and algorithm development, as well as our proven success on similar projects.

 

Engagement with Triple Ring has been very positive.  The team was very receptive, understanding and dedicated!  I was very pleased with the support we received at all levels of the organization

Hani El-Sheikh, Global Head of R&D – Flow Cytometry at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences

 

The Triple Ring team greatly appreciated working alongside the world-class R&D organization at Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. It was especially gratifying to augment their capabilities with our hard-to-find mix of optics, algorithm development, data science, and software engineering expertise.
