Zenit G-Sight

WHY CHOOSE ZENIT G-SIGHT OVER A CLASSICAL CELL-BASED IIF ASSAY?

IIF assay is a low-cost, simple and rapid method for routine autoimmune screening; however, it has several disadvantages, which can be easily resolved with Zenit G Sight.

Classical cell-based IIF assay

vs

Zenit G Sight system

  • Subjective analysis
  • Limited number of samples
  • Time-consuming sample screening
  • Fluorochrome decay
  • Organized archiving space required
  • Difficult to exchange results with other labs
  • Objective quantification and pattern recognition
  • High workload management
  • Efficient automated +/- sera discrimination
  • Digitized image data
  • File storage and easy retrieval of previous reports
  • Online access and data exchange

Zenit G-Sight - The easiest way to adhere to guidelines

ZENIT G-SIGHT IS:

  • Valuable and accurate
    giving clinicians a precious aid for diagnosis by providing a full quantitative/qualitative report on autoantibody serological status
  • Reliable
    providing results that are reproducible and comparable within and between laboratories
  • Cost-effective
    alleviating the heavy workload of laboratories with large sample numbers, maximizing efficiency and optimizing human resources
  • Secure
    safeguarding results and improving data management

WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES OF ZENIT G-SIGHT

Hardware components are fully controlled by software and mainly involved in the digital image acquisition process.

  • Fluorescence microscope
    Zenit G Sight microscope is equipped with a high-performance autofocus mechanism (5 to 13 focusing points per well) and supplied with two objectives (4x, 40x) on a revolving turret. Additional objectives can be provided on request (the revolving turret can accommodate 6 objectives).
  • LED light source
    LED illumination technology has numerous advantages over conventional light sources: for example it delivers highly focused light, generates little heat and is virtually maintenance free (long-life light source). Morevover, LED light sources do not photobleach FITC as fast as mercury lamps do.

Hardware components

HARDWARE COMPONENTS

  • Scan stage
    Zenit G Sight’s XY-motorized scan stage holds up to 5 slides (containing various number of wells) and is equipped with a barcode reader. For maximizing accuracy, a large area is scanned (from 1 to 220 fields per well), therefore the average scanning time for a 14-well slide may vary from 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Digital camera
    The high-sensitivity CCD camera of the Zenit G Sight system captures clear, high-contrast fluorescence images.
