The CentroLIApc is consequent development of the renowned CentroLIA. While maintaining the excellent performance the CentroLIApc has a smaller footprint.

The instrument is controlled via the easy-to-use wizard driven ICE software (Immunoassay version) which includes full immunassay data reduction.
The CentroLIApc is an ideal instrument for diagnostic applications and clinical use.

Software

The software has been designed with the routine clinical laboratory in mind and offers protocols for all types of immunoassays.

• Protocol types are immunometric (ILMA), competitive (LIA), cut-off and raw data
  
• Automatic performance test
  
• Two point calibration using stored curve or master curve
  
• Flexible definition of wells to be measured
  
• Sequence selection for column or row strip assay
  
• Multiple assays per plate
  
• Shaking
  
• Full support of kit lot numbers
  
• Storage of assay results allowing off-line re-evaluation
  
• Data output to laboratory information management systems
  
• Sophisticated curve fitting
  
• The curve fitting provides full standardization allowing multiple replicates of standards, Bo´s and NSB´

Instrument Concept

Detector sensitivity and stability are the result of Berthold Technologies experience with thousands of photon counters.
True photon counting has the benefit that no user parameters need to be set, ensuring the same conditions are used for every measurement during the instruments life time. The fast photon counting circuitry provides a dynamic range in excess of six orders of magnitude, which complements the concentration range of the latest assays.
A patented design of the optical system achieves absolute minimization of cross-talk (down to 10^-6 depending on the type of microplate).
Solid 96 well plates, as well 8 well and 12 well strip plates can be measured.
Inside the instrument precise x and y drivers ensure exact positioning of the wells with respect to the detector.

The Kit Manufacturers' Perspective

The CentroLIApc is distinguished by its exceptionally high sensitivity, thereby allowing clinically significant detection limits with low reagent concentrations.
A wide selection of high-quality standardization procedures ensures optimum accuracy and precision in the measurement of assays.
Berthold Technologies world-wide customer service network is available for OEM-partners and users alike so, in the unlikely event of something going wrong, support is available.
