Performance
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.

Principle

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.

Procedure
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).

简单的实验方案。
1. 将所需实验方案对应的EZ1 Advanced Card或EZ1 Advanced XL Card插入卡槽,并启动仪器。2. 将样本和密封的预装试剂卡夹放到仪器中。样本自动处理,纯化的核酸转移到洗脱管中。3. 将纯核酸转移至1.5 ml微量离心管中,至浓度适合于下游应用。
灵活易用。
EZ1 Advanced或EZ1 Advanced XL Cards提供多种预设实验方案,无需手动输入数据,使用与纯化DNA、RNA或病毒核酸。您可通过购买程序卡,获得更多纯化实验方案,无需额外培训,也无需更改仪器设置。
标准化,可追踪。
EZ1 Advanced建立了数据管理的新标准。阅读条形码可在整个纯化过程中对样本和试剂进行全程追踪。试剂认证、批号和有效期同时登记,以提高过程控制和可靠度。过有效期之后会发出警告。在每轮操作结束时会自动生成一个运行报告,包含维护过程和消毒日期等所有仪器信息。每次运行结束之后,工作站会生成一个pdf和一个csb文档。无需网络就可将数据转移到打印机或计算机上,报表可以用LIMS(实验室信息关系系统)处理 。
安全可靠。
如果需要,该仪器可放置在安全柜中,增加用户的安全。传感器确保样本制备过程中仪器盖子保持关闭。在每次运行结束后,智能化的UV灯可对工作站内表面进行消毒,减少批次间的样本污染。
