Laboratory advantages of Helios Automated IFA systems
Impactful results for patients, optimized IFA testing workflow for you.
Give your pipette a break with IFA automation
Load up to 190 samples per run and confidently walk away as Helios systems take care of every step of the IFA diagnostic methodology, including dilution, incubation, washing, and even pipetting mounting media before imaging.
Saving time with automated microscopy and IFA test result processing
With on-board automatic image capturing, positive pattern recognition, and suggested endpoint titer, there’s no need to move samples to a new instrument to be read or sort through negative results when it comes time to review.
Bringing peace of mind to a sensitive and subjective methodology
No matter the microclimate of the lab, the HTC modual of the Helios systems maintain the optimal internal temperature and humidity during processing, ensuring high-quality results for healthcare providers and patients.
