EUROArrayProcessor

Fully automated processing of EUROArray slides

In the pre-PCR area, the software automatically generates 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 the required reagent and sample volumes. Alternatively, for a higher degree of automation, the Automated Workstation Pre-NAT II can be included in the workflow for automated preparation of the PCRs. In this case, run information and PCR layout are transferred from the Automated Workstation Pre-NAT II to the EUROArrayProcessor.

In the post-PCR area, the EUROArrayProcessor provides dilution of the PCRs with hybridisation buffer, the transfer of the hybridisation preparations to reagent trays and the 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 LIS, Automated Workstation Pre-NAT II, EUROArrayProcessor and EUROArrayScan software throughout the entire process.

  • Automated post-PCR processing of up to 192 PCR preparations and 40 EUROArray slides per run using proven TITERPLANE technology
  • Standardised and reproducible washing of EUROArray slides based on 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 Automated Workstation Pre-NAT II and EUROArrayScan software for secure data transfer throughout the process

  • Features

    Optimisation of workflows

    • Unique system for automated processing of EUROArray slides: pipetting, hybridisation, washing and drying on one instrument
    •  No manual intermediate steps – convenient and safe from the PCR sample to the EUROArray slide 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
    •  Minimal hands-on time of 15 minutes for runs with up to 40 EUROArray slides and 192 PCR samples

    Optimisation of workflows

    Economic 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 procedure due to capacitive liquid level detection
    • Reduced danger of cross-contamination since the pipetting needle pierces the film covering the PCR plate, which makes manual removal of the film superfluous
    • No evaporation effect during hybridisation due to proven TITERPLANE technology and thermal isolation

    Economic and precise pipetting

    Perfect result

    • Integrated washing unit for fully automated cleaning of EUROArray slides
    • Standardised and reproducible washing based on the MERGITE! washing technology
    • Pinpoint washing of fields without carry-over
    • Defined washing conditions due to temperature control and active cooling of the wash buffer
    • Automated drying of EUROArray slides for best quality of results
