Roche COBAS AmpliPrep Instrument

Description

Automates sample preparation in preparation for amplification and detection. Automates the sample preparation steps of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing for analysis on the COBAS TaqMan Analyzers. This instrument operates with robotic precision to dramatically reduce hands-on time and enhance user productivity. It can be used for diagnostic applications and for screening pools of blood donations in clinical laboratories. Features Works in combination with the COBAS TaqMan 48 Analyzer or COBAS TaqMan Analyzer to automate sample preparation, amplification, and quantitation of RNA or DNA Maximizes throughput, simplifies workflow Sample processing unit minimizes cross contamination Pipetting integrity check ensures correct pipetting of samples and reagents Minimizes risk of incorrect results due to insufficient volumes Clot detection reduces risk of incorrect results due to clotting or particles in the sample Benefits Automates the sample extraction process Bar coded reagents packaged in ready-to-use spill-proof cassettes with self-sealing caps for increased stability Provides integrated automated sample preparation for qualitative and quantitative molecular diagnostics Up to 72 samples and 4 different assays can be loaded onto the system at the same time Fully automated sample extraction and PCR set up Including: 10 Reagent racks (5 new in box) 7 SPU racks (4 new in box) 5 Sample racks 2 K Carrier racks 1 Box of S Tube Inputs 1 Box of K Tube Racks 3 Boxes of Wash Reagent PG WR 1 Box of SPU Cartriges
