      Erba Lisa Scan EM: Precision ELISA Plate Reader for Clinical & Research Laboratories

      Overview

      The Erba Lisa Scan EM is a state-of-the-art, fully automatic microplate reader designed for accurate and rapid quantitative and qualitative analysis in clinical diagnostics, research, and pharmaceutical settings. Engineered for high performance and user-friendliness, the Lisa Scan EM offers a reliable and efficient solution for processing a broad spectrum of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) with uncompromising precision.

      Key Features & Benefits

      Uncompromising Precision and Accuracy

      • Advanced Optical System: Equipped with a high-precision optical system and multiple wavelength filters (typically 405, 450, 492, 630 nm, with options for additional filters), ensuring accurate and reproducible absorbance measurements across a wide range.
      • Wide Dynamic Measuring Range: Delivers precise quantification even at very low or very high analyte concentrations, eliminating the need for extensive sample dilution.
      • Low Stray Light & High Linearity: Minimizes optical noise and ensures exceptional linearity across the entire measurement range, vital for reliable results.
      • Automatic Wavelength Selection: Effortlessly switch between desired wavelengths for different assays without manual intervention.

      Rapid Throughput and Efficiency

      • High-Speed Reading: Quickly processes standard 96-well microplates, significantly reducing turnaround time for batches of samples and improving laboratory workflow.
      • Optimized Plate Scanning: Configurable reading modes (single, dual wavelength, kinetic, multipoint) to match specific assay requirements, maximizing efficiency.
      • Built-in Shaker: Integrated plate shaker ensures thorough mixing of reagents for uniform reactions and optimal signal development, improving assay performance.

      Intuitive Operation and Powerful Software

      • User-Friendly Interface: Features an intuitive graphical interface, often via an integrated touch screen (model dependent), for straightforward navigation and assay setup.
      • Sophisticated PC Software (e.g., Erba Scan Software): Comprehensive software package for:
        • Creation and storage of unlimited assay protocols.
        • Real-time data acquisition and display.
        • Advanced curve fitting algorithms (linear, 4PL, 5PL, cubic spline, etc.) for precise calculation of quantitative results.
        • Qualitative analysis with cut-off determination.
        • Multi-test analysis on a single plate.
        • Robust quality control (QC) features including Levey-Jennings charts.
      • Pre-programmed & Customizable Assays: Comes with pre-loaded assay templates and allows for easy customization to accommodate diverse laboratory protocols.

      Versatile Application Spectrum

      • Broad Assay Compatibility: Ideal for a wide range of ELISA applications including infectious diseases (e.g., HIV, Hepatitis, Dengue), hormonal assays, tumor markers, drug monitoring, immunology, serology, and general research.
      • Supports Various Assay Types: Capable of performing qualitative, quantitative, and semi-quantitative assays.

      Robust Design and Seamless Connectivity

      • Compact & Durable: Designed for long-term reliability, the robust construction ensures minimal downtime and a long operational lifespan. Its compact footprint saves valuable bench space.
      • Multiple Connectivity Options: Equipped with USB, Ethernet ports for seamless integration with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) and external PCs for data transfer and remote control.
      • Internal Memory: Stores a significant number of results and assay protocols, allowing for standalone operation when necessary.
