Master Diagnostica

Instruments

Master Diagnostica offers the following hybridization systems based on DNA Flow technology:

• hybriSpot 24TM: fully automated hybridization system; 24 samples
• hybriSpot 12TM: semi-automated hybridization system; 12 samples

The hybriSpot platforms are supported by hybriSoft, an automatic sample management software with printed reports.

Special features:

• Automatic:

o Reagent dispenser (robotic arm)

o Temperature and time controls

o Vacuum control

o Image capture

• Integrated instrument for PCR and hybridization (under development)
• Two 24-well PCR blocks (under development)
• Two 12-sample hybridization chambers (24 samples)
• Ability to perform two techniques at the same time
• Barcode identification of reagents and samples (strips)
• Complete process control by sensors (vacuum; levels; temperature)
• UV light for DNA decontamination

Specials:

• Semi-automatic :

o Temperature and time controls

• 12 samples maximum
• Buzzer programmed to indicate the end of each step
• Control screen to monitor temperature and time
