FEATURES

Automation that adapts to your actual workflow

Random access, continuous loading, and a STAT function to process samples and reagents according to the laboratory’s needs, without interrupting the workflow.

Multiparameter flexibility for infectious disease serology

Process different infectious markers in a single run, without the need to pool samples or wait for series to complete. Up to 79 monotests on board: 39 positions in the loading rotor and 40 positions in the reaction rotor. Up to 50 primary tubes, 50 dilution tubes, and 6 bottles of diluent in the sample load.

Rapid results and continuous flow

First results in 70 minutes, with subsequent results generated every 35 seconds. The system processes up to 40 tests in 90 minutes.

Traceability and control for each test

Positive identification of samples and monotest strips, use of primary tubes, automatic predilution, and bidirectional LIS connectivity via VirCom® middleware for a safer and more controlled workflow.

Why VirClia® Lotus

  • Automation for Variable Demand

    Automation for Variable Demand

    VirClia® Lotus allows samples and parameters to be processed as they arrive at the laboratory, with random access, continuous loading, and a STAT function. No waiting for batches. No disruption to the daily routine.

  • True monotest: Total Control per Assay

    True monotest: Total Control per Assay

    Each monotest includes the reagents, calibrator, and control needed to process a single sample, facilitating traceability and control of the reported result. One strip. One test. One reportable result.

  • Comprehensive Coverage in Infectious Serology

    Comprehensive Coverage in Infectious Serology

    VirClia® allows you to integrate routine parameters, special tests, and low-demand assays into a single automated CLIA workflow. A broader test menu. Greater responsiveness.
