Immunofluorescence assay sample preparation system APE IF ELITE

automaticELISA testfor allergy analysis

APE IF ELITE is the latest version of combined ELISA and IFA automated processors of DAS. The instrument is able to manage 10 methods on line with 4 elisa microplates at different temperature; a thre needle system allows fast processing on 16 IFA slides (optional 20 slides). It is equipped with a sliding sample barcode reader; a microplate shaker is also available. All parameter for dilution, dispense, incubation, washing, reading and data processing, are settable. TECHNICAL FEATURES ELISA technical features Liquid handling - 2 probes for dilution and dispense of samples and reagents Sample dispense time 6s (average) with 2ml of washing solution Sample dilution time - 6s (average) with 2ml of washing solution Plate washing - two 8 nozzle manifolds, one to dispense and the other one to aspirate; residual volume <3µl Plate washing inaccuracy - CV <5% at 300µl Removable tray - modular racks to hold calibrators, controls and reagents for 10 methods on line Microtiter plates - 4 standard plates (12 x 8 wells format) independently incubated at room temperature or from 37° to 45° C Wash buffers 4 wash buffer for microplates in external tanks Reading system 8 independent photometric channel with mono and bichromatic reading capability Interferential filters 2 fprecision filters (450 and 630 nm); 2 filters more on request (4 filter max, 400-700 nm) Reading inaccuracy - Reading from 0.000 to 3.000 OD; inaccuracy ±2% Operative Functions - Management of 10 methods in the same run. Definition of incubation times and volume for sample and reagents dispense. Differen incubation times for each method. Easy and fast settings for new protocols.
