VirClia® Lotus

Product catalog summary

Overview
The VirClia® Lotus is a flexible and fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) system designed for on-demand testing. It offers a rapid turnaround time with results available in as little as 70 minutes, and subsequent results every 35 seconds. The system supports continuous loading and random access, allowing for urgent sample prioritization through its STAT function.

Specifications
The system can handle up to 50 primary sample tubes and 79 different monotests simultaneously. It includes a built-in scanner for positive identification of samples and strips, ensuring full traceability and minimizing clerical errors. The VirClia® Lotus is compatible with all VirClia® assays, supporting a wide range of infectious disease tests, including bacterial, viral, zoonotic, fungal, sexually transmitted, and vector-borne infections.

Capacity and Throughput
The system can process 40 tests in 90 minutes, with a capacity for 50 primary tubes, 50 dilution tubes, and 6 bottles of diluent. It features automatic predilution if required and has a waste management system for both liquid and solid waste.

User Interface and Connectivity
The VirClia® Lotus is operated via an external laptop with a 15.3” touch screen running Windows 10 Pro x64. It offers bidirectional LIS connectivity through VirCom middleware, allowing for customized results management per test or patient.

Technical Data
The system dimensions are 75 cm x 74 cm x 65 cm, with a weight of 70 kg. It operates at a noise level of less than 75 decibels and requires a power supply of 230 Vac@ 50Hz for Europe or 110-120Vac@ 60Hz for the USA/Canada, with an electrical power consumption of 365 VA.

Key Features
The VirClia® Lotus offers a true monotest solution, allowing laboratories to perform low-volume infectious serology tests alongside routine operations. It unifies parameters typically performed with ELISA, IFA, or Rapid Tests into one CLIA system, providing excellent diagnostic sensitivity and specificity.
