AP 32 IF
ELITE
is an innovative system able to process 32 IFA slides (optional 40 slides). A special three needle system expedites the work session. The system uses a powerfull proprietary software that allows the run of more DAS instruments at th same time . It process slides with any kind of thickness, mask, well shape and number of rows, keeping the same well known accuracy of all IF processors of DAS. The instrument is equipped with a sample, reagent and control bar code reader; bar code for slides is available as well.
