What every sample uses

What one sample consumes, and how far each pack goes

Every sample uses one flow cell measurement, and most often two dilution vials. The two vials give two serial 1:100 steps, reaching 1:10,000.

How far you dilute depends on how many cells your sample holds, so the number of vials can vary. Two steps to 1:10,000 is the usual choice for a bacterial cultivation nearing the end of growth.

Cleaning follows your working day. Deep cleaning and the QC test follow the week.

Per measurement

Item	How much	Order as
Flow cell	One of its 250 measurements	FC03
Dilution vial	Most often two, for two 1:100 steps	DR01 or DB01

Only a completed measurement counts against the flow cell. Cleaning does not, and neither does a QC test.

Per operating day

Item	How much	Order as
Disinfection vial	One vial, or 10 cleans, whichever comes first	VI07
Syringe filter	One, on the bulk dilution route only	SF01

A disinfection vial is a day, not a sample count

Discard it at the end of the day even if you cleaned only once. You clean after every measurement, after a deep clean, and after 30 minutes of inactivity, so ten cleans can also run out before the day does.

Per week

Item	How much	Order as
Deep clean vial	One deep clean, at least once a week	DC02
QC stock	One QC test, and one more after every deep clean	QC06

What a QC test consumes

One dilution vial from the QC bundle to prepare the QC sample, which is a single 1:100 dilution. Then one of your day-to-day dilution vials for the blank, which you buy separately as DR01 or DB01.

How far a pack goes

Dilution coverage below assumes two vials per sample.

Item no.	Item	Enough for
FC03	Flow cell incl. two external filters	250 samples
GS01	Getting started bundle (100× samples)	100 samples of dilution, 40 operating days of cleaning, 10 deep cleans and 18 QC tests. No flow cell.
DR01	Dilution liquid: ready-made vials (100× dilutions)	50 samples
DB01	Dilution liquid: bulk (500× dilutions)	250 samples
VI07	Disinfection vial (20×)	20 operating days
DC02	Deep clean vial (5×)	5 deep cleans
QC06	QC bundle (18× QC tests)	18 QC tests, blanks not included
SF01	Syringe filter for dilution dispenser (40×)	40 operating days on the bulk route

Two ways to get the dilution vials

Ready-made, or filled by you from bulk liquid.
