AP 16 IF Plus - Immunofluorescent Slide Processor
QC
INOVA ProductsAP16 IF Plus is an automated instrument for the slide Immunofluorescence processing. Reliable and built with the latest technologies, it can manage all the IFA slide protocols from sample predilution, sample and reagent dispensation to the incubation and slide washing.

Technical features

Sample predilution 20s (with 1 ml of washing solution)
Sample dispensation 9s (with 1 ml of washing solution)
Reagent dispensation 42s for a 12 well slide for 20 µl each, including 1 ml of Wash buffer
Reagent volume 10-100 µl with by 1 µl steps
Sample volume 8 µl minimum
Sample dispensation CV < 2% at 100 µl (OD = 0.600)
Reagent dispensation CV < 2% at 100 µl (OD = 0.600)
Provided trays sample tray for 150 vials of 13 mm, 2 predilution trays (108 single cuvettes each), tray with 16 slots for the slides, reagent tray for 15 controls, 8 conjugates (7 if Blue Evans dye is used), 1 washing solution for the probe and 2 diluents for samples
Level sensor probe sensitivity, 150 µl Slide well washing 2 probes flow or drop by drop system for the same well, one to dispense and the other to aspirate
Weight 71Kg
Power Requirements 230/115 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 500 W
Measurements 79 x 61 x 65 cm

Operating functions:

The instrument can manage 8 methods on the same run, 2 sample diluents and a washing Buffer (Blue Evans dye, optional)
Slide parameters setting up:
  • Slides mask configuration
  • Wells shape and size configuration
  • Total number of wells per slide
  • Number of well lines, max 2 per slide
  • Coordinates of the first and the last well for each line
  • Slide thickness
  • Controls and samples in double dispensation
Slide washing settings:
  • Distance between probes with 1/10 mm increasing
  • Distance between the dispensation probe tip and slide surface with 1/10 mm increasing
  • Distance between the aspiration probe tip and slide surface with 1/10 mm increasing
  • Washing cycle duration from 1 to 10s (flow washing)
  • Number of washing cycles from 1 or 2
  • Dispensation flow on the slide from 200 µl/s to 900 µl/s (flow washing)
  • Drops numbers (drop by drop)
General information:
  • Possibility to define incubation time and dispensation volume for samples and conjugates
  • "Blue Evans dye" setting
  • Possibility to set different incubation times for each method on the same run
  • 10 dilutions, programmable by the user
  • Serial dilution in to 2 predilution cuvettes
  • Work list printing for last session
  • Work list searching
  • Printing of the tray configuration: sample, predilution, reagent and slide tray
  • Assay set up printing
  • Slide set up printing
  • User friendly software program, with on-line help
  • Memorization of the programmed settings
  • Work list set up from Host Computer
  • Possibility of bypassing the dilution phase
  • Possibility of setting up slide thickness for each method on the same run
  • Display and printing of the undetected liquid
Optional: Bar Code Reader
