Meridian Bioscience illumipro-10 Incubator Reader Laser Diode DNA Amplification SKU: 601 Manufacturer: Meridian Biosciene, Inc. Model: illumipro-10™ Incubator Reader with Thermal Printer P/N: 610172 S/N: IP2010 Description: The illumipro-10™ is an automated isothermal amplification and detection system for use with Meridian Bioscience, Inc. illumigene® Loop-Mediated Amplification products. The illumipro-10™ is intended to be used by trained laboratory professional users in laboratory settings. Isothermal amplification is carried out by two independently controlled heat blocks capable of operating between 55 C and 65 C, and within 1 C of the temperature set point. The isothermal amplification temperature set point is dictated by the illumigene Assay selected. Isothermal amplification time is monitored by the illumipro-10’s internal timer. When in operation, the illumipro-10 will display ‘Test in Progress’ as well as block temperature and incubation time remaining. DNA amplification detection is completed by the illumipro-10 optics system. Each illumipro-10 block contains laser diodes illuminating at 650 ± 20 nm and corresponding detectors monitoring light transmission across each illumipro-10 well. The illumipro-10 performs an initial check of the optics system prior to run start. Observed failures in the optics system disable the instrument block until the failure can be resolved. After successful optics verification, the illumipro-10 checks for the presence of an illumigene test device in each well. The illumipro-10 automatically enters a Sample ID of ‘EMPTY WELL’ for all wells that a test device cannot be detected in. The illumipro-10 measures the absorbance of each illumigene test device at the beginning and end of the isothermal amplification incubation. Sample results are reported as INVALID, POSITIVE, or NEGATIVE based on the observed change in absorbance.
