PhD lx System

Description

The PhD lx System is an automated pipetting workstation for processing IFA slides and EIA microplates. Integrated software allows for programming custom assays.
The PhD lx System is a versatile IFA and EIA processing system with an extensive autoimmune and infectious disease test menu. The open platform uses a modular design that enables laboratories to efficiently process low to high volume workloads and create custom assay programs.

Flexibility and Simplicity
Automate IFA and microplate EIA testing on a single analyzer.

Consolidate testing
Custom programming of IFA and EIA assays with an easy-to-use programming wizard
Minimize hands-on time with user-friendly IFA and EIA automation
Expand testing capabilities by networking multiple workstations
PhD lx
Efficiency
Easily switch between IFA and EIA technologies on a single instrument and network your workstations for higher throughput.

Cleaner IFA backgrounds with dual-probe hyper-washing
Bidirectional LIS (EIA) and unidirectional LIS (IFA) interface
Graphical user interface for intuitive programming and easy navigation
Minimal maintenance
