The RoboBlot is a fully automated standalone Class A in vitro diagnostics instrument used for
processing up to 50 strip membranes. The RoboBlot detects the samples using a barcode reader,
pipettes all reagents, performs washing of the membranes and transfers a raw image to a third
party interpretation software to perform analysis.
The RoboBlot allows for full automation and quantitative determination of strip based assays
using human serum. The assays include (but not limited to) testing for:
-
Lyme disease
-
HIV
-
HPV
-
Toxoplasma
The RoboBlot is suitable for processing samples of all groups of people. It is to be used by trained
