RAVE Automation

The RESOLUTE Automated Volume Enhancer (RAVE) is the laboratory automation system that brings the features of the RESOLUTE 2.0 test kit to greater heights. Providing automatic UV decontamination, automated capping and uncapping, transfer and mapping, the RAVE automation system is able to process 5760 samples a day, the RAVE automation system allows the majority of manual labour in the testing lab to be cut down, raising productivity by 50%. Able to process 96 samples in 56 minutes, taking 26 seconds per sample in the 96-well plate, the results are ready in 60 minutes with no fear of human error.

The system comes with a robotic capper and pipettor, an UTM tray to hold 96 samples, a RESOLUTE reagent station, 96-well plate station and holding area for pipette tips, fully automating the three most common tasks in testing. The RAVE system has three fully-automated programs, for qPCR Assay Plate Prep, Sample Pooling and Sample Aliquoting. From uncapping to producing a qPCR ready 96-well plate, the whole process is automated, saving a great deal of time and labour. With reduced contact with samples, especially when paired with the REDAPT DTS test kits, this helps to keep lab workers safer.

At a footprint of only 127 x 62.3 x 67 (cm), the RAVE automated system is able to be incorporated into the BSC hood and the system’s open design enables it to be integrated seamlessly into existing standard laboratory equipment such as qPCR machines and UTM sample tubes. This provides amazing flexibility and saves expenses on new equipment. With the RESOLUTE test kit, the RESOLUTE + RAVE system offers great increases in productivity from 75% to 100%.
