AIX1000 (RPR testing for syphilis) (Systems)

Bacteriology

The AIX1000 is the world’s first fully automated system for nontreponemal RPR Syphilis testing. Simply load your reagents and up to 192 samples, then walk away. The AIX automates the processing, analysis, reporting and archival of results for both RPR screens and titers.

It's a fully automated microtiter plate processor, capable to completely perform sample processing steps, including dilutions, dispenses, and incubations. 


Reduce the amount of labor overhead dedicated to RPR testing, freeing personnel to increase productivity across laboratory operations. Improve the quality & consistency of your results.


The RPR test procedure and results interpretation are fully automated. Reduce variation associated with manual testing & interpretation.


Run flexible batch sizes of up to 192 samples in 90 minutes. The AIX1000 performs RPR screens and/or titers using automated protocols.

Features and benefits


Start the Run & Walk Away
Load sample tubes using the built-in bar code reader or intelligent racks. The AIX1000 provides full sample traceability from loading to result reporting and archiving. The AIX1000 performs the RPR test procedure for screens and titers, and automatically interprets results.

On-Board Features
The AIX1000 employs a single, dual needle probe to aliquot Gold Standard Diagnostics’ RPR reagents in up to 4, 48 well microtiter plates, and an orbital shaker to perform the automated RPR test procedure. A built-in magnetic stir plate maintains carbon reagent suspension during the run.

Digital Results
An HD camera generates images of RPR test results that are stored digitally and are retrievable on demand

Software
Run qualitative screens & semi-quantitative titers (1:2-1:256). The AIX1000 performs the RPR test procedure for screens and titers, and automatically interprets results using a proprietary pattern recognition algorithm.

Intuitive, User Friendly Touch Interface
Use the touch-screen interface to analyze, archive and retrieve results.

Compatible with Laboratory Information Systems
Upload and report results directly to your laboratory database without the need for manual data entry. Integrate results archiving and reporting into your laboratory information system.

Intelligent Racks
Automatic sample location management.

High Precision Micro-Syringe
Aspirate 1µl with less than 3% CV.

On-board Camera
Probe-mounted high-definition camera.

Built-in Barcode Reader
Streamline loading and decrease sample tracking errors.

Orbital MTP Shaker
Precise adherence to test procedure (100-400 RPM).

Small Footprint
~2 feet x 2 feet
