The Procleix Xpress System v2.1 (Software and Instrument) is intended to be used to create whole blood lysates and pools of whole blood lysate for blood screening tests for nucleic acids. The Procleix Xpress System automatically creates the lysate by adding whole blood to a lysis buffer. The resulting lysates may then be transferred into a single master pool tube. The pooled or individual lysates may be used for further testing in Procleix systems. The Procleix Xpress System also collects barcode data from all tubes and racks used in a given pooling run, establishing positive specimen identification and Master Pool Tube (MPT) composition.
An electrically-powered, software-operated instrument intended to be used in the laboratory to withdraw, transfer, and/or inject volumes of fluid materials, typically from one laboratory container to another, during an in vitro diagnostic procedure. The device is programmable to allow for automated single and/or multichannel fluid handling and delivery of user-specified volumes into a single container or multiple containers (e.g., microplate) simultaneously. It has no other specimen processing capabilities.
