The Procleix Xpress System (Software and Instrument) is intended to be used to create pools of human plasma or serum for blood screening tests for viral nucleic acids. The Procleix Xpress System automatically transfers plasma or serum from individual samples into a single Master Pool Tube (MPT), which may be used for further testing in Procleix systems. The Procleix Xpress System also collects barcode data from all tubes, racks, and archive plates used in a given pooling run, establishing positive specimen identification and MPT composition.The Procleix Xpress System is intended to create whole blood lysates and/or pools of whole blood lysates 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 MPT. The pooled or individual lysates may be used for further testing in Procleix systems.In addition, the Procleix Xpress System can be used to dispense human plasma or serum aliquots into an archive plate.
An electrically-powered automated or semi-automated laboratory instrument intended to be used for the automated pre-analytical preparation of samples for downstream nucleic acid analysis. The instrument may be used to prepare various sample types through one or more pre-analytical steps which may include cell disruption, lysis, nucleic acid extraction, enzymatic digestion and/or nucleic acid purification.
