Highlights

 

Total flexibility

 

The Crocodile will adapt to any 96 well assay and the main strength of the Crocodile is its versatility. Not only can it be used as a powerful and flexible assay processor offering unattended performance, but its functions also can be used to replace individual devices such as plate washers and plate readers. Unlike other ELISA workstations on the market, the Crocodile can perform assays that require to seal the plate during some incubations. Just insert a manual step in the protocol and the instrument will play a sound to warn the operator. Then the instrument will instruct the person to put on or remove the film. If you ever need to do an absorbance measurement, you can choose the Crocodile 5-in-one ELISA miniWorkstation instead. This system offers total flexibility in wavelength selection. The pre-installed filters for ELISA are 405, 450, 492 and 620 nm and 4 additional positions are available for custom filters.

 

Plug and play

 

All functional modules are housed in one compact box. Simply connect the unit with the power outlet and a notebook or desktop computer and you are all set for analysis. The tubing for wash and waste liquids is preinstalled, ready to be introduced into the wash and waste bottles. In everyday use, preparing to use Crocodile won´t give you any headaches. Wash, waste, and reagent bottles are readily accessible, right next to the instrument. The instrument is ready for start-up within minutes.

 

Validation made easy

 

The performance validation of the Crocodile is supported by our 3Q Package: Installation Qualification, Operation Qualification and Performance Qualification steps are performed according to detailed instructions provided. The results are documented in checklists according to the specific features of the instrument. In addition, we provide an optional Absorbance Test Plate to check the performance of the reader.

 

Easy maintenance and reliable service

 

Maintenance is also really simple: flushing of the system and routine replacement of the tubing is made easy by the intuitive design of Crocodile. The instrument is very robust due to the small number of moving parts. In addition, our technical experts are available to help if needed, and our service is available to ensure trouble-free operation over the lifetime of the instrument.

 

Convenient PC software

 

The user-friendly software easily adapts to any 96 well assay protocol. The five different functions can be in any sequence, one or several times each (for example one to four dispensing steps or multiple washing steps). Setting of each step is flexible and intuitive. Once you have chosen an assay protocol, the screen will show a graphic of the entire assay schedule, as it will be performed by Crocodile. The optional MikroWin software is available when quantitative and qualitative data analysis is needed.
