Q:

PyroTec Pro: How long does the assay take, and can an assay be run overnight?

A:

Typical runtime from start of the automated microplate setup to completion of WinKQCL™ Software reading the plate for a single assay is 1.5 hours – 2.5 hours, depending on the number of samples and the complexity of the dilutions. Therefore, a two-assay run will typically complete in 3 hours based on the simplest testing scheme. The system begins setup and preparation of the second assay while the first plate is being measured.

Because the PyroTec PRO System is automated, once the assay is set up and the run initiated, the run can complete without human interaction, so it may run overnight or between shifts.
