Nexgen Four is a fully automated, open-system, 4-plate analyzer
capable to perform tests in parallel according to any assays procedures
provided by reagents’ manufacturers.
The instrument, which is able to process up to four microplates
simultaneously is managed by two computers and is composed by the
following keys elements:
one centrally located sample carousel
two independent pipetting robotic arms
four separate incubators
two independent photometers
two washing stations
Nexgen Four is a novel instrument deriving from the expertise developed
by ADALTIS over the past 15 years through more than 4.000 automated
analyzers installed in nearly 60 countries world wide.
Thanks to its 4 microplates available simultaneously, Nexgen Four
is particularly suited for large clinical labs and blood banks that
perform extensive screening tests such as HIV, HBV, HCV, Syphilis
and others.
Up to 16 different assays in the same work session
Sample carousel: 120 + 120 tubes
Technical features
The internal bar code reader allows the primary tubes identification
while an external bar code reader allows the identification
and the positioning of the reagents.
4 independent incubators, 2 separate washing stations, 2
photometer units with a spectral range between 400 and 700
nm and 2 separate reagent-loading systems for on-board assays.
The Nexgen Four is equipped with dual robotics pipetting
arms. The two arms allow dispensing samples and reagents in
2 microplates simultaneously.
The Nexgen Four allows you to use simultaneously the plastic
disposable tip and the metal needle.
The sample carousel holds 120 primary tubes and 120 additional
tubes for pre-dilution. The addition of further sample-holder
sectors can take place during the testing routine through
the continuous loading.
Customers interface
The operator can monitor from a distance the instrument by
means of alarms through the LAN or Internet.
Nexgen Four is managed by two computers, one internal and
one external, run by the proprietary OpenLab software developed
under Windows XP and .Net framework *
The OpenLab suite has an easy to learn and intuitive interface
that reduces the need of having in depth training and instrument
dedicated staff.
