Automated sample preparation system Sentosa SX101

for PCRfor next-generation sequencingpipetting

The Sentosa SX101 is a flexible automated pipetting system that offers a unique and easy-to-use workflow for nucleic acid extraction and PCR set-up, for up to 4 assays simultaneously. Throughput of up to 96 samples can be processed in a single run. The tube holder plate that holds the Sentosa SA PCR reagents is color-coded to allow the operator to match it with the corresponding reagent cap colors. This minimizes the risk of placing reagents in the wrong positions. The adaptor that holds the tube holder plate and reagents is kept chilled for temperature sensitive master mixes. The whole PCR set-up is covered during extraction steps to prevent any possibility of contamination to the reagents. FEATURES AND BENEFITS Open-channel capabilities Walk away automation Supports 21 different sample types In-built thermomixer module that supports Sentosa SX Extraction kit Preset run protocols for the Sentosa SX workflow Color coding on tube holder to match reagent cap color to ensure correct positioning of reagents. Inscribed names provide further confirmation on the right placement ID tracking functionality to ensure sample traceability Primary tube handling Barcoding of samples to reduce manual input error rates and saves time Pre-scan with optical sensor before each run to ensure sufficient quantity and types of tips and labwares Continuous audit trail with user specific digital signatures in compliance to CFR 21 Part 11
