Can the PyroTec PRO System interface with LIMS?

The automated endotoxin detection system is operated by our WinKQCL software. In this software the end-user can setup and define the trigger for the data transfer. Lonza offers services to assist with this.

PyroTec Pro: Has any stability testing been performed for the endotoxin and lysate that stay on the instrument before use?

Our data indicate that the reagents should be placed on the deck prior to running the automated assay. This would be similar to the methodology when performing the assay on the bench. Customers should follow procedures similar to those in a manual...

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

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...

Is the PyroTec PRO System compatible with other, non WinKQCL, Software?

The automation module providing dynamic scripting* and control of the robotic system is an integral part of Lonza’s WinKQCL™ Version 6, Endotoxin Analysis and Detection Software. It is not compatible with any other endotoxin detection software.

What is involved in the annual PyroTec Pro Preventive Maintenance?

Annual PM is included in the Te-Care™ service contract, offered through the Lonza-Tecan partnership. The PM includes general cleaning, greasing, adjustments, verification of pipetting accuracy and replacement of wear-and-tear parts. Any required...

How long does it take to perform the PyroTec Pro installation, operational and performance (IOPQ)?

There are many components that need to be installed and validated. Depending on the customizations needed, estimated time for installation and operational qualification is one week.

What additional PyroTec Pro maintenance activities are required?

Routine maintenance tasks are detailed in the User Manual. They include daily inspection and cleaning of the DiTi cones and an inline filter test. Post use, the worktable should be cleaned and DiTi waste emptied. Weekly, a leak test should be...

Can you provide more information on the PyroTec Pro IOPQ?

Installation Qualification (IQ) – ensures that the hardware and software are installed and configured properly in preparation for further testing. Basically, this verifies that the software is installed and that readers and incubators have been...

Can the PyroTec PRO System be utilized with the PyroGene rFC Assay?

The basic system is supplied with Sunrise Readers and supports both the Lonza Kinetic-QCL™ Kinetic Chromogenic LAL Assay (for example, P/N 50-650H) and the PYROGENT™-5000 Kinetic Turbidimetric LAL Assay (for example, P/N N688). The PyroGene™...

How does the PyroTec PRO System mix samples after sample dilution?

All mixing on the system is done by the liquid handling robotic arm described above using similar multiple aspiration/dispense steps to those used in standard preparation. The volume for mixing and speed of pipetting is defined in the software and we...
