Product Description
The AIX1000 is an FDA cleared, CE marked, fully automated system for nontreponemal, rapid plasma reagin (RPR) testing designed to simplify the processing, analysis, and results interpretation for RPR screens and titers. With the new universal slide-in rack system accommodating a variety of tube sizes, sample loading has become even easier and faster.
This instrument is the world’s first fully automated system for nontreponemal RPR Syphilis testing. Simply load your reagents and up to 192 samples, then walk away. The AIX automates the processing, analysis, reporting and archival of results for both RPR screens and titers.
Process and Machine for Automated Agglutination Assays with Image Automated Evaluation
FULLY AUTOMATED RPR SYPHILIS TESTING
FULLY AUTOMATED
The RPR test procedure and results interpretation are fully automated. Reduce variation associated with manual testing & interpretation.
COST EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT

START THE RUN & WALK AWAY
Load sample tubes using the built-in bar code reader or intelligent racks. The AIX1000 provides full sample traceability from loading to result reporting and archiving. The AIX1000 performs the RPR test procedure for screens and titers, and automatically interprets results.
COMPATIBLE WITH LABORATORY INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Upload and report results directly to your laboratory database without the need for manual data entry. Integrate results archiving and reporting into your laboratory information system.
ON-BOARD FEATURES
The AIX1000 employs a single, dual needle probe to aliquot Gold Standard Diagnostics’ RPR reagents in up to 4, 48 well microtiter plates, and an orbital shaker to perform the automated RPR test procedure. A built-in magnetic stir plate maintains carbon reagent suspension during the run.
INTUITIVE, USER FRIENDLY TOUCH INTERFACE
Use the touch-screen interface to analyze, archive and retrieve results.
SOFTWARE
Run qualitative screens & semi-quantitative titers (1:2-1:256). The AIX1000 performs the RPR test procedure for screens and titers, and automatically interprets results using a proprietary pattern recognition algorithm.
