INVIGENIUS PLUS

Overview

Walk-away DNA/RNA sample preparation

The InviGenius PLUS is a true walk-away system for DNA/RNA extraction and purification from clinical samples – providing a reliable “Sample in – Eluate out” technology!

The combination of well-established magnetic bead based InviMag technology and state-of-the-art process automation allows for standardization and streamlining of laboratory workflows. Innovative functionality and optimized protocols for demanding samples and applications result in reliable performance and superior DNA and RNA quality for molecular diagnostics*.

Benefits

• Extraction of DNA and RNA from up to 12 samples in parallel

• Total in-process control

• Advanced process safety and standardized sample preparation

• Proven performance-leading magnetic-particle chemistry

• CE-marked according to IVD-directive*

The Plus Features

• Deep-well working plate for sample volumes of up to 4 ml
• Heat lysis and heat elution for high recovery rates of nucleic acids from demanding samples such as liquid biopsies or virus samples
• Barcoded labware for complete sample traceability (e.g. 2 ml barcoded elution tubes)
• Choice of elution tubes or plates for flexible sample management
• Droplet catcher minimizes the risk of cross contamination
• UV light enables decontamination of the worktable
• Unidirectional LIMS connectivity
• Air displacement pipettor - Prevention of cross contamination through use of filter tips & intelligent routing
• Aliquot pipetting of eluates for generation of replicates, e.g. for PCR

*) In compliance with the Directive 98/79/EC on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVD-Directive). Products which are CE-marked according to the IVD-Directive can be used for diagnostic applications in countries where this directive is recognized. The device is not approved by the US FDA
