FEATURES

Continuous Loading

  • Fully automated CLIA analyzer with continuous loading and random access.
  • Allows loading of up to 50 primary tubes, 50 dilution tubes and 6 diluent bottles.
  • Enables new samples and reagents to be added without interrupting the workflow.

Flexibility

  • Enables processing up to 94 infectious disease markers in monotest format, with full flexibility.
  • Each position can be configured with different parameters, adapting to the laboratory’s real needs.
  • Includes 39 positions in the loading rotor and 40 positions in the reaction rotor.

TURNAROUND TIME

  • Processes up to 40 results in 90 minutes.
  • First results are available in approximately 70 minutes.
  • From that point onwards, a new result is generated every 35 seconds.
  • STAT function allows urgent samples to be prioritized when needed.

Traceability

  • Built-in scanner for positive identification of samples and monotest strips.
  • Improves process safety and reduces the risk of identification errors.
  • Supports a more controlled, traceable and connected workflow.

Why VirClia® Lotus

  • Automation designed for the real laboratory routine

    Automation designed for the real laboratory routine

    VirClia® Lotus combines primary tube loading, automatic predilution, continuous operation and LIS connectivity to reduce manual handling and simplify the daily management of samples and results.

    Its STAT function allows urgent samples to be prioritized without interrupting the scheduled routine, providing a faster response when the laboratory needs it.

  • Test-by-test flexibility, with no need for batching

    Test-by-test flexibility, with no need for batching

    The monotest format allows each determination to be processed individually, with the required reagents and controls integrated into each strip.

    Thanks to random access and continuous loading, the laboratory can add samples and reagents according to real demand, without waiting to complete batches or interrupting the workflow.

  • A broad infectious disease serology menu on a single platform

    A broad infectious disease serology menu on a single platform

    VirClia® provides access to an extensive infectious disease marker menu using CLIA technology, integrating routine parameters, special assays and low-demand determinations into the same automated workflow.

    This helps laboratories expand their test offering, reduce external referrals and respond better to variable clinical needs.
