EUROArrayProcessor

In the pre-PCR area, the software automatically creates a worklist based on the registered primary samples and the requested analyses and supports the user in the manual preparation of PCRs by providing information on the pipetting layout and required reagent and sample volumes.

In the post-PCR area, the EUROArrayProcessor takes care of all manual work steps: dilution of the PCRs with hybridisation buffer, transfer of the hybridisation preparations to reagent trays and incubation, washing and drying of the EUROArray slides. These can then be read out with the EUROArrayScanner. The integrity of the data is ensured by digital transmission between the LIS, the EUROArrayProcessor and the EUROArrayScan software throughout the entire process.

Automated post-PCR processing of up to 192 PCR samples per run using the proven TITERPLANE technology
Standardised and reproducible washing of EUROArray slides based on the MERGITE! washing technology and automated drying for best quality of results
Safety and traceability through barcode identification of EUROArray slides, reagent tray boxes and reagents
Interfaces to the LIS and EUROArrayScan software for secure data transfer throughout the process

Features
Optimisation of workflows
- Unique system for automated processing of EUROArray tests: pipetting, hybridisation, washing and drying on one instrument
- Minimal hands-on time of 15 minutes and a true walk-away system – convenient and safe from the PCR sample to the EUROArray test ready for evaluation
- Use of concentrates for the preparation of the wash buffer and system liquid as well as the working-strength hybridisation buffer for simple preparation of runs
Economical and precise pipetting
- Coated stainless-steel needle and precision pump for high pipetting accuracy
- Efficient washing of the pipetting needle prevents carry-over during pipetting
- Safe pipetting with capacitive liquid level detection
- Reduced risk of cross-contamination as the pipetting needle pierces the film covering the PCR plate, eliminating the need to remove the film manually
- No evaporation effect during hybridisation due to proven TITERPLANE technology and thermal isolation
Perfect result
- Integrated washing unit for standardised and reproducible washing of EUROArray slides using the MERGITE! washing technology
- Pinpoint washing of fields without carry-over as well as defined washing conditions due to temperature control and active cooling of the wash buffer
- Automated drying of EUROArray slides for best quality of results
Convenient operation
- PC with intuitive graphic touchscreen user interface
- Easy starting of individual worklists
- Protocol generation with or without LIS connection
- Lot registration for PCR reagents
- Optional volume calculation for PCRs and display of the PCR pipetting layout
Flexible combination of EUROArrays
- Automated processing of up to six different EUROArray tests per run
- Protocol optimisation for efficient combination of different EUROArray tests
- Economical operation thanks to the choice between EUROArray slides with three or five reaction fields
- Unique identification of EUROArray slides with integrated DataMatrix code reader
- Incubation at the hybridisation temperature specific to each EUROArray test
Process safety from A to Z
- Software access based on different user accounts and rights
- Convenient system overview with detailed status information on run times and resources for smooth integration into the laboratory routine
- Automated sensor-based loading check for PCR samples, consumables and disposables prior to the start of each run for error-free processing
- Safe and digital data exchange with the EUROArrayScan software and the LIS
