Automated PCR System
The first benchtop system to fully automate amplification and detection for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. It combines five instruments in one – thermal cycler, automatic pipettor, incubator, washer and reader.
Features and Benefits
Features
- Bar-coded data entry
- 48 sample capacity per run
- Test-specific reagents
- Multiplexing- up to 6 detections per amplified sample
- AmpErase enzyme (uracil-N-glycosylase, UNG) provides selective amplification by destroying deoxyuridine-containing amplicon and reducing the risk of cross-contamination
- Benefits
- Maximizes walk away time
- Improves laboratory efficiency and productivity
- Assures results integrity
- All in one compact, benchtop unit
- Results can be reported to physicians on the same day
