The DSX workstation finds use in a number of applications — clinical diagnostics, assay design, ADME tox and drug discovery — in any laboratory performing ELISA assays. The automated instrument processes up to four 96-well microplates and up to 12 different assays simultaneously, while providing all the functionality necessary to perform virtually any ELISA protocol including: absorbance endpoint detection, plate washing, shaking and temperature-controlled incubation, and others. Walk-away processing ability is provided, along with an easy to use protocol generator and instrument control and data analysis software.
