Product description
A one-plate ELISA+CLIA processor, the BOLT shares many features of the ThunderBolt, but with a more customizable, lower throughput, cost-effective design. The BOLT is a single compact machine that serves as all of the tools for processing an ELISA or CLIA assay (pipette, washer, incubator, shaker, reader). Our interactive user-friendly software provides a simple laboratory experience for instrument operation.
The BOLT is a fully automated microtiter plate processor that is capable to completely perform sample processing steps, including dilutions, dispenses, incubations, shaking, and wash processes. The BOLT also provides photometric and luminescent measurement and evaluation. The BOLT is controlled by a Windows PC software program (Storm Instrument Manager) that is specifically designed for the system. It is attached to a computer that enables automated running of assay steps, worklist generation, data management, and data analysis.
Fully Automated System PERFORM ELISA’S FROM START TO FINISH
With the fully automated EIA platform, users can easily set up a worklist and come back to the instrument to retrieve results. No more worrying about manual incubation times and misplacing pipettes.
Modular Design CUSTOMIZE YOUR EIA PLATFORM TO YOUR LABORATORY’S NEEDS
The BOLT offers different modular designs to customize to exactly the experience that the user needs. Save on features that the lab does not need for a simpler laboratory experience.
