ELITe InGenius is an automated solution for transplantation analysis and monitoring that completely replaces a standard real-time PCR laboratory with 3 rooms.
The ELITe InGenius is a fully automated cassette-based universal sampling solution with multiple independent real-time PCRs, allowing you to design and run customised mixed-parameter panels to meet your laboratory's requirements.
Advantages:
- Full automation: A benchtop solution that combines all stages of molecular diagnostics, automated nucleic acid extraction, and RT-PCR amplification in one platform. (Reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme that catalyses DNA synthesis using RNA as a template. It is so called because most transcription processes in living organisms occur in the reverse direction, i.e., an RNA transcript is synthesised from a DNA molecule) and analysis of results performed step by step, controlled by an intuitive touchscreen interface (ability to load a primary tube, reducing waiting time to a few minutes).
- Efficient performance: High extraction yields even with small sample volumes thanks to magnetic bead technology combined with sonication, thermal and chemical sample treatment. Best-in-class CE-IVD RT-PCR menu based on MGB technology for qualitative and quantitative research applications. The unitary cassette-based format guarantees high precision results and reagent consumption control. The total time from isolation to result is approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
- Unrivalled flexibility: Parallel lanes can process 1 to 12 samples, allowing you to mix any type of matrix, use completely different thermal profiles, and even different PCR chemistries simultaneously. The ability to perform multiple and independent PCRs from a single isolated sample, allowing the laboratory to define individual test panels tailored to the needs of each patient. Storage of isolated nucleic acid for multiple PCR testing, retesting, or archiving. Multiple operating modes are available: extraction only, amplification only, or extraction, amplification and result analysis with melting curve capability.
- Unlimited menu: The first solution with results is a comprehensive menu for monitoring graft pathogens. Mix and match CE-IVD assays, laboratory developments, or any other assay of interest within a single run, simply on demand. Save the test panel and create a customised menu.
- Simplified workflow: Select > Load > Start > Overview. Select: pre-programmed assays for each sample; multiple PCRs from a single sample; random access test programming. Load: mixed samples from different matrices; ELITe InGenius SP 200 and PCR cassette; RT-PCR reagents: mixed parameters. Start-up: Walk-away (full automation); flexible mode: extraction and/or amplification and detection, with melting curve option, automated. Review: Approval of the result; printing of the report; uploading data to LIS.
