Addcare‘s range of immunoassay workstations combine all functions required to process microplate based immunoassays on an efficient, convenient and fast platform. Sample- and reagent transfer are performed by the high precision pipetting system. An array of shaker-incubators carry the microplates, assure accurate reaction temperature and efficient mixing. A high performance 96-well microplate washer module provides fast and efficient washing. The measurement module selected to match your specific assay technology ELISA, CLIA or FIA, provides reliable raw data to be evaluated and the plate transfer arm moves the plate between the modules used for each individual processing step.
The system is complemented by ADCstation, a powerful PC-software providing an intuitive user interface to control all system functions, define and execute the desired processes, perform evaluation and provide access to results and process data.
Sample Pipetting
Air displacement technology and disposable tips
The pipetting modules in Addcare's assay processors utilize drip-proof air displacement pipetting with disposable tips. This technology eliminates any risk of cross contamination by carryover and prevents sample dilution with system liquid, both common in washable tip systems. Different sizes of disposable tips can be used to match the specific pipetting requirements.
Real time tip monitoring
During tip-loading, pipetting and tip-ejection the system continuously monitors the presence and proper fixing of each tip. In case of a problem the software will automatically set necessary actions,
