Bio-Rad Laboratories AUTOIMMUNE TESTING IFA and EIA Instrumentation One revolutionary platform, two technologies
Bio-Rad Laboratories AUTOIMMUNE TESTING Autoimmune IFA and EIA testing Flexibility, efficiency and accuracy from the worldwide leader in autoimmune testing. The s unique modular design provides laboratories with the ability to efficiently process low to high test volume workloads. One to ten workstations can be controlled by a single computer, providing the flexibility to process IFA slides and EIA microplates simultaneously! The proprietary volumetric pump allows the new to accurately and consistently deliver volumes down to one microliter The combination of robust instrument design and multiple workstation networking provides unparalleled reliability Efficient dual technology IFA and EIA Both technologies on a single instrument Easily switched from one technology to another Uni-directional LIS (IFA) and Bi-directional LIS (EIA) via RS-232 or TCP/IP connection Graphical User Interface for intuitive programming and easy navigation Minimum number of components; minimal maintenance
IFA Up to 4 assays per run per workstation Up to 20 slides per run per workstation Up to 96 patients per run per workstation Completely automates front-end processing of slides sample and control dilution, conjugate addition, incubation, slide washing and counterstain preparation and addition Easily accommodates standard 75 x 25 mm slides IFA Slide Rack Kallestad IFA Slides Left Sample Rack IFA Reagent Rack EIA Accurate Proprietary servo-controlled volumetric pump consistently and accurately delivers volumes down to one microliter In well dilution capability eliminates need for off-line dilution of samples allowing direct dilution in the microwells EIA Reagent Rack Up to 192 samples, controls, calibrators per run per workstation Up to 8 compatible assays per run per workstation Reagent rack accommodates up to 8 sets of reagents Network up to 10 workstations to a single computer for parallel processing Right Sample Rack Modular design accommodates small to high volume laboratories Proprietary Volumetric Pump
