Alisei
Automation
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR ADVANCED PERFORMANCES, IN ELISA
Resulting
from long experience in designing open systems for ELISA testing,
Alisei, the third generation of RADIM automated equipment, offers
the highest evolution in microplate automation.
Support for up to Six Microplates
Alisei can run up to six microplates both simultaneously and independently.
Additionally, plate incubations at different temperatures create ideal
flexibility for various assays to be performed. Alisei offers high
throughput in addition to unsurpassed random access performance.
Fast
and Safe Dispensing System
The dispensing system includes two independent needles, which are
able to aspirate from two adjacent samples, or from a single reagent
vial, allowing two separate microplate wells to be dispensed at once.
Each needle is associated with a dilutor configured with two syringes,
one syringe is 2500 µL and one is 1000 µL. These syringes
provide greater accuracy in dispensing reagents and samples respectively.
A level and clot detector is provided for each needle to ensure the
correct functioning of the system.
Sample
and Reagent Racks with Barcode Reader
The sample and reagent racks are made up of two rotating and removable
carousels. The reagent racks have the ability to refrigerate reagents
for component preservation. Multiple assay samples and reagents can
be housed in their respective racks for simultaneous test runs. A
bar code system, centered among the four racks, allows positive identification
of both samples and reagents, preventing user input errors.
Integrated Stations for Washing and Reading
The microplates are automatically carried into an independent washing
station (software-mediated) for the washing procedure. The device
consists of an eight-channel manifold with double, parallel needles,
capable of washing both “U” and flat bottomed microwells.
Up to 4 different washing solutions can be handled separately. The
reading station is an 8 channel, optic fiber photometer with interferential
filters, capable of holding up to 8 filters. Wavelengths are available
from 405 to 620 nm, employing the 8 available filters.
User Friendly Software
The
management program for the instrument is handled on an external PC.
The software is extremely advanced, yet user friendly and self explanatory.
The software is able to handle different test methods during the same
test run.
The
program is made of different modules that allow the user
To
insert and modify tests and their features;
To
insert the work list along with all relevant patient data;
To
monitor the entire test run;
To
display and manage the final results;
To
personalize and print the patient report.
The software also includes a service module for checking instrument
mechanical functions. In addition, the Alisei program contains a time
management system to optimize the time scores for each test. The software
contains built-in, automatic error recovery, along with a historical
patient record for statistical evaluation of historical results. The
highly sophisticated electronics as well as mechanical technology,
and the new compact design, make Alisei a complete instrument, flexible
and adaptable to any Laboratory routine, cost-effectively and time-saving.
Highly sophisticated electronics, easy to use software, and the new
compact design, make Alisei your complete automation solution.
