Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the Endosafe Nexus 200, a robotic system designed to automate bacterial endotoxin testing, traditionally a manual and error-prone process. Automation in this context aims to enhance data integrity, compliance, and operational efficiency in pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

Features and Benefits
The Endosafe Nexus 200 offers a fully automated, walkaway testing system that reduces human intervention and optimizes resources. It can handle up to 120 samples per run, performing complex and serial dilutions using FDA-licensed LAL cartridge technology. This system minimizes human error, increases productivity, and allows skilled employees to focus on higher-value tasks.

System Integration
The Nexus 200 integrates Endosafe LAL cartridge technology, nexgen-MCS multi-cartridge system, and Hamilton Microlab Nimbus platforms. It features a compact design with precise pipetting capabilities, making it ideal for endotoxin testing. The system includes a touch screen PC for easy operation and data management.

Operation Process
The operation involves loading cartridges and samples, scanning barcodes, and using robotic arms for sample preparation. The system automates the assay process, and results are reviewed using EndoScan-V software, which can integrate with LIMS for further analysis.

Service and Validation
Charles River offers various service and validation programs, including regular maintenance, calibration, and on-site or remote validation services to expedite automation implementation.

Comparison with Previous Models
The document includes a comparison chart highlighting improvements over the previous Endosafe Nexus model, such as increased sample capacity, enhanced dilution capabilities, and improved data integrity features.

Ordering Information
Details on product components, accessories, and service options are provided, along with contact information for customer service and technical support.

Endosafe Nexus 200™: Automation Through Robotics for Bacterial Endotoxin Testing ® Features and Benefits of the Endosafe Nexus 200 Endotoxin testing has traditionally required extensive assay and standard curve preparation, sample preparation, reagent • Fully automated walkaway robotic testing system reduces human intervention and optimizes resources errors made during sample processing, leading to potential data integrity violations and gaps. As expectations continue • Fully enclosed platform with safety locking features With this paradigm shift of introducing automation in the lab, keeping up with product demand, regulatory compliance, • Increased sample throughput capability, testing up to 120 diluted & undiluted samples per run instrumentation for automating endotoxin testing and data management are driving operational efficiencies, data integrity • Process complex and serial dilutions with multiple diluents, allowing for water, in-process, and final product testing The advantages of implementing automation are no longer just for high-volume, large manufacturing organizations. • Utilizes FDA-licensed LAL cartridge technology for simple, accurate, and quantitative testing rehydration, and multiple dilutions to be made for a successful result. These tasks increase the inherent risk for human to evolve within the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, microbiological quality control and production environments are setting the standard for implementing reliable, compliant, and cutting-edge testing methods and technologies. and technological advances in this industry can seem like a never-ending task. However, developments in machine-driven compliance, and ultimately eliminating hands-on testing to relieve analysts from repetitive and manual, although necessary, duties. Tangible benefits go beyond just an increase in production, and include mitigating your firm’s risk for human error, optimizing SME resources, and harmonizing training, software, and systems across global sites. Since the launch of the first fully automated robotic Endosafe Nexus in 2014, transformations in technology and innovation have inspired our Research and Product Development team to reimagine the next iteration of automated endotoxin testing with the Endosafe Nexus 200. The next generation of our data integrity compliant, walkaway automated robotic instrument can test up to 120 samples per run and perform complex and serial dilutions via Endosafe® cartridge technology in a fully enclosed system. Increase Productivity and Employee Efficiency Performing endotoxin testing on large numbers of samples using traditional methods can be both time-consuming and vulnerable to outside influences such as technician errors and standard curve anomalies. Manual processes, or those with numerous manual steps, often lead to inefficiencies within the lab, which can lead to costs in terms of both time and money, as well as pose a risk to product quality. The training required for an analyst to become proficient in running these
