Automation in flow cytometry has recently advanced from the partial laboratory automation and robotics islets, to more fully integrated systems. This article reviews three manufacturers' newest sample preparation systems: the Beckman CellMek, the Sysmex PS-10, and the BD FACSDuet. These three instruments are capable of performing many of the manual steps in flow cytometry sample processing (pipetting, staining, lysing, washing, fixing). General description, capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages of each system are compared. Overall, these systems have the potential to become mainstay items in today's busy clinical flow cytometry laboratories, and save a significant amount of hands-on time for laboratory staff.
流式细胞仪的自动化技术最近已从部分实验室自动化和机器人小岛发展到更加完全集成的系统。本文综述了三家制造商的最新样本制备系统：贝克曼库尔特公司的 CellMek、希森美康公司的 PS-10 和 BD 公司的 FACSDuet。这三种仪器能够执行流式细胞术样本处理中的许多手动步骤（移液、染色、裂解、洗涤、固定）。对每个系统的一般描述、功能、优点和缺点进行了比较。总的来说，这些系统有可能成为当今繁忙的临床流式细胞术实验室的主要项目，并为实验室工作人员节省大量的实际操作时间。
