Helena ESH Touch
ESH Touch transfers samples directly from primary patient tubes to barcoded sample trays, ready for application to agarose gels by the SPIFE Touch. A 100-sample capacity accommodates the largest SPIFE Touch gels and dilution schemes for each sample can be specified.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The next generation of Electrophoresis Sample Handler joins the Touch Series of analyzers as part of Helena’s integrated solution for high volume electrophoresis workloads. Like its predecessor, ESH Touch provides automated front-end specimen processing for the SPIFE Touch with positive patient ID and interface to QuickScan Touch or LIS - but in a smaller, faster, quieter, more flexible and user-friendly package.
