Fully Automated Real-time PCR system

The geneLEAD VIII is a fully automated, sample-to-result precision instrument. Samples, reagents and consumables are placed in the instrument and the assay is started. Nucleic acids are obtained from the samples using magnetic bead extraction with process happening in the tip (Magtration®) instead of a well. Upon completion the nucleic acids are transferred to the PCR well, and the PCR master mix is added and qPCR thermal cycling started. Results are analyzed and reported directly by the instrument and can be accessed remotely using LIS system.
A2700: geneLEAD VIII (IVD) has been notified to the regulatory authority as a medical device in Japan and, compliant with In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Device Regulation (IVDR) (EU) 2017/746.
A2720: geneLEAD VIII (RUO) is for Research Use Only.

Category: Product ID: 20772

Description

Features

  1. Approx. 120 min. from extraction to PCR analysis  *Time varies depending on reagent and protocol.

  2. Three operation modes selectable according to application:

    • Extraction + PCR

    • Extraction only

    • PCR only

  3. Parallel processing of different sample types with single extraction reagent.

  4. Extracted nucleic acid (elution) can be collected for different assays, retesting or archiving.

  5. Independent temperature control per lane.

  6. 6-color fluorescence for multiplex detection.

  7. Controlable up to six units of geneLEAD VIII with one laptop.

  8. Solid contamination control:

    • Hands-free and enclosed system

    • Liquid handling inside tip per lane

    • Capping mechanism for PCR zone

    • UV light decontamination

    • HEPA filter

  9. Open platform for PCR reagent (both lyophilized and liquid reagent acceptable).
