Gold Standard Diagnostics ThunderBolt Immunoassay Platform

DESCRIPTION

The ThunderBolt® platform offers automated immunoassay processing previously reserved for instruments many times the price and size

Streamline your workflow with easy loading, fully automated walk-away processing, reading and reporting of results, and bi-directional integration with LIS and HIS through RS232, USB, or TCP/IP.

Unique features include convection incubator, no-spill 900 RPM orbital shaker, built-in reader, intelligent racks, on-board camera, high precision micro-syringe (1 µL @ 3%CV), sliding sample tray and barcode reader.

Orbital shaker has 3 MTPs (2 reaction and 1 pre-dilution). The Chemiluminescence Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) has glow detection, a 300 to 500 spectral range, 50 dark counts per second and a measuring time of 200 ms, which is adjustable by 1 to 1000 ms. Dynamic range is six decades with an optional add-on.

Software is a point to point, linear regression, cubic spline, 4 PL, 5 PL, Lin-Lin, Lin-Log, Log-Log representation. LIS integration isbi-directional, RS232, USB, TCP/IP.

As an open system, the ThunderBolt® can be programmed to run virtually any EIA or CLIA assay with up to eight different protocols in a single batch.
