By GlobalDataThe ARIES M1 System replicates the functionalities of Luminex’s higher throughput ARIES System, incorporated with features such as an intuitive system interface, STAT or batch testing, and true walkaway capability.
The device extracts, amplifies and detects nucleic acid targets from a variety of sample types.
The low throughput ARIES M1 System features one module to run one to six different assays according to the ARIES Universal Assay Protocol.
The higher throughput ARIES System provides two independent modules, each supporting one to six cassettes, allowing for both STAT and Batch testing of IVD and homebrew assays using MultiCode Reagents when using a universal assay protocol.
The device can be easily integrated into the modern laboratory infrastructure.
It uses an internal barcode scanner to minimise operator errors.
The system features an integrated touchscreen PC which eliminates the need for a separate computer, standalone keyboard, and mouse thereby saving space.
