Automatic sample processing and nucleic acid extraction workstation | ||
Item | Function | Technical parameters |
Sample processing | Form of sample loading and unloading | Put the sampling tube into the push-pull sample rack and push to load or pull to unload the sample. |
Number of tubes that can be capped simultaneously | Eight channels are available, enabling 8 sampling tubes capped simultaneously. | |
Form of sampling tube capping | In-situ capping: leave the top of the sampling tube after in-situ attachment for pipetting; perform in-situ tightening after pipetting to prevent cross-contamination. | |
Form of sample data recording | The barcode on the sample is scanned by photoelectric scanner, which is completed synchronously with loading. | |
In-position test of sample rack | It is designed to prevent capping failure due to incomplete insertion in place. | |
Vortex module positioning | Automatic positioning and locking is carried out after vortex oscillation to prevent sample rack shaking. | |
Form of virus sample release | In-situ vortex oscillation is carried out with adjustable frequency and time. | |
Nucleic acid extraction flexibility and speed | Nucleic acid extraction time in quick mode | 48 samples/20 min (to be used with YOCON inactivated sampling tube and three-step extraction reagent) |
Nucleic acid extraction time in standard mode | 48 samples/30 min (to be used with YOCON non-inactivated sampling tube, sampling tubes and extraction reagents of other companies) | |
Maximum number of samples to be processed in a single cycle | 48 servings | |
Minimum number of samples to be processed in a single cycle | 48 servings | |
Editable extraction steps | Program editing is possible to run one of the steps separately, such as cleaning. | |
Error-proof design in unattended mode | Anti-capping failure design | A position sensor is available, which senses if the push-pull sample rack is in place to prevent follow-up capping failure. |
Anti-pipette collision design | A color sensor is available, which senses if the cap is actually loosened and removed to prevent equipment loss due to collision with the pipette. | |
Anti-pipette tip installation failure design | A TIP sensor is available, which senses if the pipette tip is installed correctly to prevent no-load running. | |
Anti-liquid inspiration failure design | An air pressure sensor is available, which senses if it is in contact with liquid to prevent inspiration of air bubbles. | |
Error prompt | Errors, if any, will be shown on the screen, and the device indicator will flash with beep alarm sounding. | |
Pipetting | Quantity of simultaneously pipetted samples | 8 channels are available, enabling simultaneous transfer of 8 samples. |
Pipetting spacing adjustable? | It can be intelligently, dynamically and automatically adjusted with different tube spacings during moving. | |
Pipetted sample volume range per channel | 20uL~1000uL | |
Pipetting accuracy | 20uL，＜1.5%；100uL，＜0.5% | |
Nucleic acid extraction | Nucleic acid extraction method | By magnetic bead method |
Nucleic acid extraction heating module | Available, room temperature - 100 ℃. | |
Up-suction magnetic rod holder | Up- suction magnetic method enables short extraction time and high efficiency. | |
Mixed oscillation | Oscillation amplitude and frequency can be adjusted according to the volume of liquid, to ensure the mixing effect and prevent overflow. | |
Temperature safety module | Both temperature sensor and temperature protection switch are available to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel. | |
Temperature control range of nucleic acid extraction heating module | ± 0.5 ℃ | |
Nucleic acid transfer | Nucleic acid transfer mode | Transfer to a 48-well plate, or to a 96-well plate or to an 8-plex PCR tube. |
Biosafety assurance | Negative pressure working environment throughout the workstation | Equivalent to B2 level biosafety cabinet |
Anti-drip system | The anti-drip module moves underneath the pipette in real time, to prevent contamination of other samples by fallen liquid or detached tips in extreme cases. | |
Disinfection and sterilization of the operating environment | Efficient UV lamp | |
Additional safety cabinet installation issues | ||
Heat sealing of waste | Heat sealing of waste | The used pipette tips are threw directly into the medical waste bag for disposal before heat sealing. |
