Characteristics

Overview

Zenit Flow Compact is an automated indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) slide processor from A.Menarini Diagnostics designed to maximize laboratory productivity in minimal bench space.

System Capacity

Optimized workflow

Automatic pre-dilutions from different primary tubes within the same analytical session
Two probes: one precision pipetting probe and one aspiration probe
Fully mounted slides at process end, including mounting medium and coverslip
Open configuration to set up multiple IIF assays
Automatic calculation of reagent consumption
1D and 2D integrated barcode readers for full sample and reagent traceability

Standardized results

High-precision pipetting with capacitive level sensing for reliable performance
Pipetting volume range: 5 μl to 1000 μl (note: minimum dispensing volume of 5 μl for mounting medium; minimum dilution volume 10 μl)
Standardized washing phase with separate channels for dispense and aspiration
- Two washing modes for cells and tissues: multi-drop or continuous flow
Design minimizes carry-over contamination
Metal needles (not coated), washable internally and externally

Zenit Flow Compact + ZENIT FAST

Designed to work in parallel with ZENIT FAST to raise overall throughput by simultaneous processing and scanning
Parallel slide processing and scanning with no lead-time between operations
15-slide batches from Zenit Flow Compact can be combined with ZENIT FAST series-load batches for true parallel operation

Modularity

Single PC workstation can manage both Zenit Flow Compact and ZENIT FAST units
Multiple Zenit Flow Compact and ZENIT FAST devices may connect to one PC workstation
ZENIT Hub centralised middleware enables full traceability and bi-directional LIS connection
Throughput can be scaled and tailored to laboratory needs
