Elite InGenius®

Elite InGenius® System is an integrated and ease of use sample to-result solution dedicated to Molecular Diagnostics which integrates extraction, amplification and result interpretation with an unprecedented flexibility and assay menu possibility.

Full Automation

• Bench-top solution integrating in a single platform all the steps of the molecular diagnostics automated nucleic acid extraction, RT PCR amplification, and result analysis guided step by step by an intuitive touch screen interface.
• Bi-directional connectivity enabling the laboratory to automatically query the LIS to import testing information and export patient’s results.
• Hands-on-time reduced to few minutes
• Primary tube loading capability

Efficient Performance

• High yield of extraction even with low sample volume thanks to patented magnetic beads technology combined with sonication, thermal and chemical sample treatment.
• Best-in-class CE-IVD RT-PCR menu based on the MGB technology for qualitative and quantitative applications correlated to W.H.O. International Units.
• Unitary cassette-based format to guarantee an high result accuracy and control of the reagent consumption.
• Overall time to-result from extraction to result analysis, approximately 2h30 and hands-on-time reduced to less than 2 minutes per sample.

Unrivaled Flexibility

• 1 to 12 samples processed in parallel tracks offering the possibility to virtually mix any kind of samples matrices and to use simultaneously completely diverse thermal profiles and even PCR chemistries within the same run.
• Multiple and independent PCR can be performed from one extracted sample enabling the laboratory to define customized and comprehensive panel of tests adapted to each patient needs.
• Several operational modes are available: extraction only, amplification only, or extraction, amplification and result analysis with a melt curve analysis capability.
• Extracted nucleic acid elution in a dedicated tube allowing multiple PCR testing on demand, additional retesting or archiving.

Virtually Unlimited Menu

• First sample-to-result solution with a comprehensive menu dedicated to transplant pathogen and broad menu of quantitative applications.
