UniVerse™

UniVerse™

A flexible approach to sample preparation for molecular testing.

UniVerse™ is a pioneering system that administers various specimen input types to multiple molecular assay secondary tubes. The system’s robotics adjust automatically to a range of specimen containers with no need to remove the swab.  UniVerse™ manages capped or uncapped secondary tubes as well as 96-well plates.

Compatible with any molecular platform, UniVerse™ operates multiple liquid protocols, boosting a lab’s productivity to 130 tubes/hour or 220 96-well plate samples/hour.

The UniVerse™ can be fully interfaced with laboratory LIS to drive a variety of sample prep protocols, accessioning, labeling of outputs, and traceability of all actions

• Simultaneously processes multiple specimen containers without manual removal of the swab
• Handles capped or uncapped secondary (assay) tubesSupports pooled testing via two methodologies:

• Multiple patient samples pooled into one secondary tube
• Multiple patient swabs into a single specimen tube, like PodSwab™

Key Features

• Pairs perfectly with every downstream molecular biology platform
• Boosts productivity to 130x tubes/hour or 220x 96 well plate samples/hour
• Automated de-capping, re-capping, pipetting, and aliquoting
• Maximum safety with a laminar BLS2 flow hood
• Accommodates a wide variety of assay preparations

The UniVerse™’ has three independent robotic arms managing containers de-capping and re-capping and pipetting and aliquoting from primary tube to secondary tube or deep well plates. Also integrated with the module are an automatic and customizable vortexing protocol, a barcode scan, and a secondary tube or plate labelling system. All these operations are executed giving maximum safety for the operator, with a laminar BLS2 flow hood.
