Standardization and traceability

The EZ1 Advanced XL sets new standards in data management. Barcode reading enables complete tracking of samples and reagents throughout the entire purification process. Notes and assay identification information can also be easily entered. For increased process control and reliability, reagent identification and lot numbers are logged together with the expiration date, and a warning is issued if the expiration date has been exceeded. The run report, automatically generated at the end of each protocol, contains all relevant instrument information, including maintenance procedures and decontamination data. The instruments generate a pdf and a csv file after each run. Data can be easily transferred to a printer or computer within the network and the report file can be subsequently processed by a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System).

Proven technology with improved performance

Proven EZ1 Kits, in combination with EZ1 Advanced XL Cards, ensure high-performance results in purification procedures. The unrivaled ease of use of the EZ1 Advanced XL enables fast and reproducible purification, without the need for specialized training or previous experience with laboratory automation. The extensive application range, including DNA purification from blood, tissues, and human identity and forensic samples, RNA purification from cells and tissues, and purification of viral nucleic acids from a range of sample types, delivers the flexibility that is essential for laboratories.

Safety and reliability

The EZ1 Advanced XL has been designed to ensure high process safety, high performance, and user convenience. A sensor ensures that the instrument door remains closed during sample preparation, reducing contact of laboratory personnel with potentially infectious samples and protecting sample integrity. At the end of each run, an intelligent-design UV lamp decontaminates the inner surface of the instrument. UV decontamination is highly effective in eliminating Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (see tables). If required, the instrument can be placed in a safety cabinet, providing increased user safety.

Fundamento

Automated sample preparation enables efficient, standardized purification of nucleic acids. Manual sample handling is minimized, ensuring safety to the user and reliable processing of samples.

The EZ1 Advanced XL instrument uses proven EZ1 Kits for purification of DNA, RNA, and viral nucleic acids from a wide range of starting materials. Purified nucleic acids are ready for immediate use in downstream applications. The combination of an easy-to-use instrument, with error-free protocol selection and worktable setup, and prefilled, sealed reagent cartridges makes nucleic acid purification easy.

Procedimento
Flexibility and ease of use

The self-contained EZ1 Advanced XL instrument ensures optimal ease of use and walkaway automation. A wide range of protocols is available for purification of DNA, RNA, or viral nucleic acids. Up to 14 samples can be processed per run in as little as 20 minutes. The instrument is operated via a keypad, and instrument information is displayed on the VFD (vacuum fluorescent display).

All processing steps are performed by the instruments — from piercing reagent cartridges to elution of pure nucleic acids. A separate computer is not required for operation, and EZ1 Kits include all reagents and accessories required to process your samples. EZ1 Kits provide prefilled, foil-sealed reagent cartridges that remain sealed until the instrument door is closed and the protocol run started, reducing the risk of contamination during setup.

If desired, up to 4 EZ1 Advanced XL instruments can be connected to an external computer, expanding throughput up to 56 samples per run. This enables you to easily adapt your laboratory setup to changing sample preparation requirements.

EZ1 Kits and EZ1 Advanced XL Cards for a wide range of applications

The EZ1 Advanced XL uses proven EZ1 Kits with preprogrammed protocols on EZ1 Advanced XL Cards. EZ1 Kits are available for a broad range of applications including work in human identity and forensics, biomedical research, and gene expression analysis (see table).

簡単プロトコール
1.必要なプロトコールが入ったEZ1 Advanced XL CardをEZ1 Advanced Card slot に入れ、ワークステーションをスタートする。
2.サンプルと充填済みのシールされた試薬カートリッジを装置にセットする。サンプルは自動処理され、精製核酸が溶出チューブに移動する。
3.お客様のダウンストリームアプリケーションに必要な濃度で高純度な核酸(1.5 mlのマイクロ遠心チューブ)を取り出す。
多様性および使い易さ
DNA、RNA、ウイルス核酸精製用のプログラミング済みの 各種プロトコールが EZ1 Advanced XL Cards で入手可能。ユーザーのアプリケーションが広がった際には、新しいカードを購入するだけで、再トレーニングや装置の変更なしに精製プロトコールを増やせる。
標準化およびサンプル/試薬のトラッキング
EZ1 Advanced XLはデータ管理において新しい基準を設定した。バーコード読み取りにより、全精製工程を通じてサンプルや試薬を完全にトラッキングできる。プロセス管理と信頼性の向上のために、試薬同定とロット番号が使用期限と共に記録され、使用期限を越えた場合には警告が出される。レポートファイルはLIMS(Laboratory Information Management System)によりひき続き処理される。
安全性および信頼性
装置を安全キャビネット内に設置できるため、ユーザーがより安全に使用可能。センサーによりサンプル調製中は装置のドアが閉ったままなので、感染の疑いがあるサンプルへの接触を回避でき、サンプルの分解を回避できる。各ランの最後にコンピューター制御されたUVランプがワークステーション内部表面の汚染を除去するため、ランごとのサンプル間のコンタミを排除できる。
