Overview
The CytoFLEX platform from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is a market-leading flow cytometry platform designed to provide high sensitivity, strong resolution, and flexible configuration options across a wide range of applications. Built to support advanced sample analysis and regulatory workflows, the platform integrates CytExpert acquisition and analysis software and supports features such as multi-color detection and high-throughput processing.
To expand the platform’s analytical capabilities and strengthen its competitive position against third-party software solutions, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences partnered with Triple Ring to develop advanced data analysis algorithms supporting new high-value customer use cases.
Challenge
A key driver of the CytoFLEX platform’s longstanding market success is its sophisticated data analysis software suite, which 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 sought to capture market value held by third-party solutions while maintaining performance, flexibility, and speed of development across multiple technical disciplines.
Solution
Triple Ring applied cross-disciplinary expertise in optics, simulation, and system design to improve performance and manufacturability.
Key technical efforts included:
- Optimizing optical subsystem design to improve signal sensitivity
- Developing analytical models to predict system performance across configurations
- Supporting integration of acquisition and analysis software workflows
- Refining system architecture to improve manufacturability and yield
