Dedicated Wash Ring
Improved magnets separating the bound particles and improved washing of the unbound particles contribute to improved sensitivity and precision of our infectious disease assays.

Environmental Controls
Eliminate the impact of temperature fluctuations by preheating all assay components that come into contact with the reaction (cuvettes, wash, water, base) to 33°C.
