Qiagen, 500200, NeuMoDx 96 Molecular System

NeuMoDx 96 Instrument and touchscreen computer.

Features

- Get true continuous random-access that is scalable to meet your needs
- Address variable throughput testing needs with a simple, easy-to-use three-step workflow
- Run IVD and self-developed assays on a single platform using the same reagents and easy, reproducible workflow
- Room-temperature-stable reagents and consumables minimizes the need for cold-chain shipment and storage

Product Details

NeuMoDx Molecular Systems combine automated nucleic acid extraction, amplification and detection on a single instrument.

Performance

The NeuMoDx instruments are the industry’s first true random-access system that are scalable according to the needs of your laboratory. The flexibility of the system allows the consolidation of your infectious disease portfolio onto one system.

With the NeuMoDx system, you can handle different testing needs with different throughput using a simple, easy-to-use, three-step workflow that provides an unmatchable flexibility.

A broad IVD menu provides access to a wide range of disease assays. The versatile NeuMoDx Molecular System can also be used as an open system to process self-developed-assays (SDAs).

Our reagents and consumables are stable at room temperature and are used for multiple assays, which minimizes the need for cold-chain shipment and storage.

Principle

The NeuMoDx Molecular System consists of either the instrument (NeuMoDx 96 or NeuMoDx 288) and a touchscreen computer. Dedicated NeuMoDx accessories, reagents and consumables ensure the best performance. The NeuMoDx Molecular System provides automated extraction of nucleic acids from multiple specimen types, as well as automated real-time amplification and detection of target nucleic acid sequences by florescence-based, real-time PCR. Our proprietary NeuDry reagent technology integrates magnetic-particle affinity capture and real-time PCR chemistry in a multi-sample microfluidic cartridge. An IVD menu provides access to an extensive selection of IVD workflows. The system enables laboratories to implement qualitative and quantitative self-developed assays (SDA) using NeuMoDx consumable and reagents.

- Add samples in any order for any test into carriers and place on the worktable.
- Press “Load” to start the run.

Complete your IVD test workflow in three easy steps:

NeuMoDx Instruments provide automatic liquid handling of multiple specimen types, reagents and buffers. Nucleic acid extraction is performed with sample heating on multiple locations for lysis and purification. PCR amplification using rapid thermal cycling is performed on all XPCR module locations. Real-time fluorescence detection of amplification products is performed at five wavelengths, enabling multiplexing for qualitative or quantitative analysis.

Complete traceability is ensured with a bar code reader that scans consumables and reagents during loading.
