BenchPro 4100 Card Processing Station: An Automated Solution for Laboratory Procedures
The BenchPro 4100 Card Processing Station from Thermo Fisher Scientific is a high-performance laboratory device designed to automate the processing steps of cards used in immunological detection procedures. This innovative device uses electronic solenoid technology to control the transfer of compressed air and vacuum to a disposable card, enabling fast and reproducible sample processing.
The BenchPro 4100 is particularly suitable for western blotting applications, where it automates the washing and incubation steps of reagents while maintaining performance comparable to manual procedures. The instrument can process up to four cards in parallel, each of which can use a different set of reagents, allowing for great flexibility and efficiency in laboratories.
One of the key features of the BenchPro 4100 is its ability to prevent cross-contamination between samples. Each card is isolated, ensuring that the reagents used for one sample do not contaminate the others. In addition, the instrument is pre-programmed with two WesternBreeze immunological detection protocols and a standard ECL protocol, offering great versatility for different applications.
The BenchPro 4100 is also equipped with built-in safety features to ensure safe and reliable operation. It complies with EN61010-1 safety standards and bears the CE mark, indicating that it meets European Union safety and performance requirements. In addition, the instrument is CSA certified for the US and Canadian markets, ensuring compliance with international standards.
In terms of ease of use, the BenchPro 4100 is designed to be user-friendly. It features a digital display and function keys for easy navigation and programming of protocols. The instrument is also equipped with a self-draining feature, which eliminates the need for frequent emptying of used reagents, reducing the time and effort required for maintenance.
The BenchPro 4100 Card Processing Station is a complete automated solution for standard laboratory procedures. It offers reliable and efficient automation of card processing steps, while ensuring high performance and optimal safety. With its advanced features and compliance with international standards, the BenchPro 4100 is an ideal choice for laboratories looking to improve their efficiency and productivity.
