USER CASE

Scanner for analyzing biological samples

 

  • The scanner system provides emerging genomic, pharmacogenomics and proteomic businesses a superior method of developing new drugs and diagnostic tests.
  • Utilizing a proprietary signal generation and detection system based upon resonant light scattering technology it provides greater accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity than alternative approaches in an easy to use, low cost instrument.



USER CASE

Harvester of cultured cells

 

  • The cell harvester system is designed to facilitate the “harvesting” of cultured human cells, as part of an overall cell therapy manufacturing workflow, by reducing the manual manipulations required and allowing the process to be performed aseptically, thereby reducing both the labor cost and contamination risk of the process.  
  • Harvesting consists of washing (media exchange) and/or concentration (volume reduction).  Both functions are accomplished by passing the cell-containing fluid through a hollow-fiber microfiltration-scale filter, and then either replacing the permeated media with fresh media (washing) or not (concentration).

 

In-Vitro Diagnostics

For over 40 years, HiArc has been the partner of choice for leading and emerging medtech innovators. From scalable platforms to high-throughput lab automation, we engineer in-vitro diagnostic solutions that are anything but off-the-shelf. Each system is purpose-built, precisely tuned to your workflow, and delivered with the unwavering reliability HiArc is known for.

 

USER CASE

Automated clinical chemistry analyzer

 

Automated analyzer for the detection and quantification of blood chemistries, one of the first centrifugal random-access chemical analyzers to reach the market. 

 

USER CASE

Automated walk-away molecular diagnostic system

 

Automated nucleic acid probe amplification technology for the detection of infectious diseases. The system performs automated functions, including closed-tube sampling, reagent delivery, magnetic separation, and washing. The instrument also automates thermally controlled amplification and hybridization, as well as chemiluminescence detection.

 

USER CASE

Electrophoresis molecular diagnostic system

 

Automates the testing of donor platelets for bacterial contamination, using non-amplified, direct-hybridization technology for the detection of bacterial RNA.

 

USER CASE

Point-of-care cell analysis system 

 

Fully automated, battery-powered point-of-care instrument that processes and analyzes whole blood samples from a disposable microfluidic cartridge. 

 

USER CASE

Semi-automated molecular diagnostic system

 

Automates a patented DNA-probe technology for the direct quantification of viral nucleic acids, with several complex components. Automated features included plate washing, thermally controlled hybridization, and fluorescence signal detection.
