Abstract
In some embodiments, a smart flow cytometer includes a monitoring system to monitor differing operational parameters of the smart flow cytometer to detect an advanced failure of components and an advanced need for maintenance. In others, a smart flow cytometer includes a quality control system including a reservoir of quality control beads to periodically run a validation test with the quality control beads in order to determine the ability of the flow cytometer to generate quality data output from a plurality of light detectors. In some embodiments, a plurality of smart flow cytometers are coupled into communication with a computer communication network; a central repair server system is coupled into communication with the computer communication network and the plurality of smart flow cytometers; wherein each of the plurality of smart flow cytometers includes a monitoring system coupled to monitor differing operational parameters of the smart flow cytometer for possible failure.
