How does PyroTec Pro liquid level detection work if different sample containers are used (conductive or pressure based)?

Conductive liquid detection is used by the PyroTec PRO™ System. The system currently supports sample handling in 13 x 100 mm tubes. An option to allow use of additional 5 ml tubes with caps is planned for a future release.

PyroTec Pro: Can you run different samples (different treatment, dilution etc.) on one plate?

The system can accommodate a variety of samples on one plate with different dilutions applied to each sample. The system will apply whatever dilutions are assigned to each sample on the WinKQCL™ Software-generated endotoxin template. Each...

What are the PyroTec Pro power requirements?

100-240 Volts50/60 MHz1,200 VA

Which type of liquid handling arm does the PyroTec™ PRO use, liquid or air driven?

The air LiHa ™ forms a core element of Lonza’s PyroTec™ PRO automated solution for endotoxin testing. The air LiHa™ uses air displacement technology to offer increased flexibility and greater convenience for a variety of applications requiring...

PyroTec Pro: Am I limited in the amount and type of sample dilutions?

The user is limited only by the 48 spaces available for sample tubes and 80 spaces for sample dilutions on the deck layout. The user can create a multitude of sample dilutions with different sample types, utilizing LAL reagent water in addition to...

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: How many plates can be processed with the instrument?

The system can accommodate up to two independent microplates on a single run of the instrument.

PyroTec Pro: What are the limiting factors (reagents, consumables etc.)?

The limiting factor is deck space on the instrument. Currently the instrument has enough space to accommodate the labware required for two assays, including the ability to run two different types. It is possible to combine any of the available...

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.

PyroTec Pro: Is it possible to reload the instrument during a run with reagents, consumables, samples? Can you continuously load? Is an automatic retest supported?

After the last microplate is placed in the reader and control is transferred to the WinKQCL™ Software to begin reading the plate, the instrument’s work is complete. At that time, it would be possible to start preparing the deck for the next run....
