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...

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.

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...

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...

Are all of the PyroTec Pro consumables endotoxin-free?

All consumables, including pipette tips (P/N 0000229884), troughs (P/N 0000229888), 13 x 100 mm tubes (P/N N207), and microplates (P/N 25-340) used in the system are certified to be endotoxin-free (<0.005 EU/mL).

How are PyroTec™ Pro manual steps controlled by WinKQCL software?

Pop-up windows in the WinKQCL™ Software application guide the user through manual preparation (endotoxin, reagents, sample), and every step has to be actively confirmed by the user, which acts as a fail-safe. For data integrity purposes, it reduces...
