Optima complete production and packaging line for ELISA test kits, comprising the Optima MEDICON ImmuCoat coating system for the manufacture of 96-well microtitre plates for ELISA kits; operating principle and process steps: 1. Feeding and preparation: Microtitre plates are automatically retrieved from destackers and transferred to the transport system. 2. Deionisation: To eliminate static charges, the plates are deionised, which is crucial for uniform coating. 3. Coding: Each plate is assigned a unique serial number. 4. Coating: The system precisely dispenses the biological components (such as antibodies or proteins) into the wells of the 96-well plate (dispensing volume 0–500 µl per well, dispensing rate 0–30,000 µl/s per well), followed by automatic level verification (Level Verification Ultrasonic V2 Y with 8-channel ultrasonic sensor). 5. 2 (two) long-term incubators with a total capacity of approx. 5,100 microtitre plates. 6. Aspiration and washing module for the microtitre plates, followed by a second dispensing unit and level check. 7. Short-term incubator (without climate control). 8. 1 (one) incubator with drying function. 9. Packaging machine for packing the microtitre plates into pre-made bags; desiccant sachets can be added and the bags labelled as an option.
The system consists of two base stations for 12 plates and one base station for 6 plates.
Capacity up 800 microtitre plates per hour.
