Beads don't scatter like cells. Your data shouldn't either.

SpectraComp stains and autofluoresces like biology. ScatterBridge holds a 9-population scatter grid across a mixed-vendor fleet. ViaComp handles viability. PhenoCytes handle the panels your users actually run.

Built for shared resource labs

Four things a core director actually cares about.

A bead isn't a cell. A donor sample is a cell, but it can be a bad one — bad draw, off day, degraded in transit. A cell mimic is the third option. Defined like a bead. Cell-like on the instrument. Same scatter, same staining, same path through lyse, fix, stain.

Proof, not promises

Data a core can put in front of a reviewer.

CD34+ Stem Cell Mimic holds under 15% CV with one-year shelf life. The same three-population readout across conventional and spectral instruments. A reference a core can put in front of a grant reviewer without a footnote.
