DYNEX DSX

The DYNEX DSX^® is the next stage of our fully automated 4-plate ELISA processing system. This breakthrough technology has transformed labs and medical facilities across the country with its state of the art design, seamless automation and intuitive interface.

DSX^® is a tried-and-tested automated open system capable of performing several assays per plate simultaneously, providing optimized efficiency and speed. The system uses a perfectly synchronized system to eliminate plate drift and ensure premium consistency across four different plate incubators. As a result, you can count on reliable quality while reaching peak performance speeds that once seemed unattainable.

The bar has been raised. Busy clinical and medium-throughput private and industrial labs require advanced automation that can handle virtually every ELISA immunoassay, all in a reliable, cost-effective package. Look no further than the DSX®.

4 independent plate incubators help manage testing workload with reduce labor, walk-away capability to maximize lab personnel efficiency.

The Worklist Load Wizard walks you through the process of setting up the DSX^® worklist, graphically showing where to place reagents, samples, and places at the beginning of each run.

The DSX^® delivers everything needed to ensure the rigorous, repeatable analyses required in critical applications including immunology, infectious disease, hormone, allergy, blood-chemistry, drugs-of-abuse testing, food safety, forensics and environmental testing.

For the past two years DYNEX DSX^® has achieved 98.2% uptime when mean time between failure target is set at 250 days.

With over 3,500 DYNEX DSX^® systems installed worldwide, DYNEX DSX^® has been cited recently in 38 scientific journal publications for studies in blood borne pathogens, Quantiferon Gold Plus, autoimmune, sexually transmitted diseases, tick-borne diseases and others.
