AP16 IF Plus
The AP16 IF Plus processor is manufactured by DAS and CE marked with respect to the In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Directive (98/79/EC). The AP16 IF Plus processor was launched in the UK in January 2006 as part of Cambridge Life Sciences’ innovative diagnostic solution.
The AP16 IF Plus is an open system capable of running a variety of IFA assays. The flexibility of the system enables the user to run a range of different assays or combination of assays to suit the differing workload of individual laboratories.
Up to sixteen slides may be run using any different combination of substrates and templates, with three prediluted controls per substrate type, if required. By utilising the 216 position of the predilution tray, samples can be run at different screening dilutions to suit individual laboratories and different titration protocols are easily accommodated. Straightforward Windows® based software allows step by step loading of all components for ease of use.
