AP22 Speedy IF
The AP22 Speedy IF processor is manufactured by DAS and CE marked with respect to the In Vitro Diagnostic Devices Directive (98/79/EC). The AP22 Speedy IF processor was launched in the UK in January 2006 as part of Cambridge Life Sciences’ innovative diagnostic solution.
The AP22 Speedy IF processor is as an open system capable of running a variety of microplates ELISA and immunofluorescence assays (IFA). The flexibility of the AP22 Speedy IF processor enables the user to run a wide range of different assays or combination of assays to accommodate the laboratory workload.
Up to eight different ELISA assays can be run at the same time, providing the assays use no more than two different wash buffers and or two different sample diluents.
For IFA, the AP22 Speedy IF processor can run up to sixteen slides of any different combination of substrates and layout. By utilising the predilution tray (92 +108 positions), samples can be run at different screening dilutions (automatically selectable from the software) and different titration protocols are easily accommodated.
