The Procleix Xpress® System v2.0 (Software and instrument) is intended to be used to create whole blood lysates and 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 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 assembly of devices designed to automatically pipette liquids in the laboratory for the preparation/concentration of analytes (e.g., cells, nucleic acids, microorganisms) in clinical specimens (e.g., blood, urine, sputum, faeces). It is software operated and automatically moves liquids by pipetting, and typically by mixing, heating, and magnetic particle handling. It typically includes a mains electricity (AC-powered) pipetting system, a heating module, shaker, bar-code reader (for specimen traceability), adaptors, grippers, and sample racks. The system is commonly used with specialized kits for the extraction/isolation/concentration of analytes.
