AFIAS-1 multi-test Point of Care Testing analyser

Afias 1 is a fluorescence and europium nanoparticle scanning instrument to be used in conjunction with various Afias tests which are based on antigen-antibody reaction and fluorescence technology. The analyser uses a semiconductor diode laser as the excitation light source for illuminating the sample loaded Afias cartridges inserted in the cartridge slot. The intensity of the fluorescence is scanned and converted to an electric signal which correlates to the concentration of the target analyte in the sample which is read by an on-board microprocessor.
