MAXIMIZE YOUR SARS-COV-2 TESTING EFFICIENCY 

explorer™ Workstations for SARS-CoV-2 Testing

Processing up to 10K SARS-CoV-2 Samples/Day

We offer complete workflow solutions including reagents, instrumentation, and consumables for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and the screening for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. With the ability to process up to 10,000 samples/day, the scalable and modular explorer™ automated workstations along with a reliable supply of reagents and consumables can maximize the efficiency of your SARS-CoV-2 testing 24/7.

explorer™ workstations improve the efficiency of laboratories while eliminating errors and reducing labor requirements by automating and standardizing disparate workflow steps. explorer™ workstations offer varying degrees of automation based on workload and staffing resources. Because of the rapidly changing nature of the coronavirus pandemic, it is difficult to predict your testing needs for tomorrow, let alone next year. The scalable and modular nature of the explorer™ integrated workstations make them ideal for situations such as these, ensuring that as your needs change, your automation solutions change with you. After the coronavirus pandemic subsides, your explorer™ workstations can be used to automate other laboratory processes.

We have over twenty years of expertise optimizing complete workflows (including reagents, equipment, and consumables) based on testing, throughput, and staffing requirements. Here are some examples of automated explorer™ workstations optimized for SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR and antibody testing automation. Contact us and we will help you choose the solution best suited to fit your specific needs.

COMPLETE SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR WORKSTATIONS
