OverviewMolecision R8 is a fully-automated molecular diagnostics system capable of completing up to 448 tests in approximately 8 hours. The compact, integrated analyzer combines reagent preparation, nucleic acid extraction and PCR amplification in a single footprint (< 2.2 m²) and accommodates 144 sample positions across 9 racks. The design includes refrigerated reagent/QC storage and an automated decapper module for continuous operation, making it suitable for medium- to high-throughput clinical and public health laboratories.
Features- Throughput: up to 448 tests per ~8 hours
- Occupied area: < 2.2 m²
- Sample positions: 144 (9 racks)
- Time to first-batch results: ~113 minutes
- Walk-away operation: up to ~6 hours (288 tests)
- Refrigerated area for PCR reagents and QC; built-in decapper for automated decapping/recapping
Benefits- Improved laboratory productivity: automated end-to-end workflow reduces manual handling and shortens turnaround time (TAT)
- Contamination control: disposable filtered tips, one-way three-partition transfer and UV/negative-pressure protections minimize cross-contamination risk
- Reliable PCR performance: stable and accurate thermal control supports reproducible amplification
