Skylab 752 is an automated ELISA-IFA system able to process more than 500 samples within the same work list.
A fundamental instrument to run large-scale population screening in all the tests required for the research of antibodies developed as immune reaction against a Virus, or to monitor the growth of antibodies after a vaccine.
The applied technologies are composed of new aspiration and dispensation modules, raising precision level by using plastic tips and last generation softwares created to guide the user through the management of the instrument with maximum ease.
