Automatic Sample Processor

AP 32 IF ELITE is an innovative system able to process 32 IFA slides (optional 40 slides). A special three needle system expedites the work session. The system uses a powerfull proprietary software that allows the run of more DAS instruments at th same time . It process slides with any kind of thickness, mask, well shape and number of rows, keeping the same well known accuracy of all IF processors of DAS. The instrument is equipped with a sample, reagent and control bar code reader; bar code for slides is available as well.

TECHNICAL FEATURES

Built-in barcode reader: for samples, controls and reagents; barcode reader for slides (optional)

Average throughput: 320 wells in a run with incubation times og 30 + 30 minutes

Sample trays: 250 sample tubes Ø13mm or 190 sample tubes Ø16mm, combination of them can be used in the same run

Supplied trays: 528 positions for dilution cups; 32 positions for IFA slides (optional 40
positions); 25 controls; 11 conjugates (10 in case of Blue Evans dye) and 1 cleaning solution for the probe; 6 diluents for samples

External liquid tanks: 2 washing buffers for slides, eash and waste tanks, all equipped with level sensors

Slide washing: Wells are washed one by one to avoid carry-over

Washing modes: multi-well, continuous flow or drop by drop for specific washing
effectiveness

Liquid handling: 3 probes: two to dispense and dilute, the third to aspirate from wells

Sample dilution time: 15s with 2ml of washing solution

Sample dispensation time: 6s (average) with 2ml of washing solution

Dispense - CV < 0,1%, inaccuracy 1% at 100µl

Aspiration - CV
