The Procleix Software is one part of the Procleix Xpress System. 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, 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 Master Pool Tube (MPT) composition. In addition, the Procleix Xpress System can be used to dispense human plasma or serum aliquots into an archive plate.
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.
