The standard Xantus platform can be used to automate ELISA setup, and when combined with appropriate functional modules (incubator, washer and reader) can perform the complete assay. Those wishing to automate the pipetting only can choose from a range of Xantus deck sizes and options depending on the capacity requirements. However, a family of fully automated ELISA platforms is also available.

The eRobots, based on the Sias Xantus platform, are compact and fully automated ELISA systems, designed for OEM and Private Label applications.

The eRobot automates the complete ELISA protocol, from one-step predilution and pipetting through incubation, washing and reading. Featuring optional bar code reading of samples, plates and reagents, comprehensive software tracks sample identification from receipt to result, and enables processing by batch or by worklist.

The eRobot ''application-oriented'' programming interface simplifies test method implementation, instrument preparation and assay execution, and offers bi-directional connection to Host PC (LIS) by ASCII or XML format file for worklist download and uploading results. Optional additional Database software with advanced functions (QC and statistics) is also available.

The Dynamic Run Manager schedules the steps of each assay before the run commences, and also provide a real time update of the test/plate process sequence.

Data reduction for qualitative and quantitative elaboration, and curve fitting on stored standard curves is also available.

Key features of the eRobot products:

Economical

• Very low maintenance
• Choice of washable or disposable tip
• Use original reagent containers

Powerful and efficient

• Predilution in one step

• Flexible deck layout
• Parallel assay processing
• Simple software interface with dynamic scheduling and comprehensive data reduction

Proven

Based on the proven Xantus technology - one family of robotic platforms, with individual solutions for every OEM requirement

Two models of the eRobot are available, each in several configurations:

	eRobot	eRobot2
	Download eRobot brochure	Download eRobot2 brochure
	eRobot for 4-6 plate ELISA processing	eRobot2 for 2 plate ELISA processing
Tips	2 or 4 tips, washable to save consumable costs and help save the planet Tips are fully independent in both Y and Z axis movement	One tip washable to save consumable costs and help save the planet
	Each probe has a dedicated and individual liquid and clot detector. Washable tips can be thoroughly washed to minimise carry-over, and disposable tips are available as option for applications where zero carry-over is required.
Plate movement	Independent robotic arm with plate gripper to move plates between functional modules	Robotic gripping tool is on the same arm as the pipetting tip
Bar code reading	The eRobot features semi automated barcode identification for samples, reagents, plates to ensure safe sample tracking	Optional bar code reading of samples and plates
Incubation	Up to 4 plates can be simultaneously incubated at different temperatures, and the system can schedule and process 4-6 plates in parallel	Plates can be incubated at room temperature on the deck, or on the optional temperature controlled single plate incubator module
Capacity	The eRobot deck is flexible and can be equipped to suit the applications. Reagents can usually be placed in their original containers, reducing the need for time consuming and potential hazardous decanting.
	Typically, the eRobot deck can accommodate 160 or 240 samples, 6 diluents and 90 reagents in modular racks, and can process shared plates for efficient test panel automation. Universal racks host different size of tubes, vials and original containers	Typically, the eRobot2 deck can accommodate 96 samples, while reagents, standards and controls are put in their original containers into universal racks
