Frequently asked questions
You can run between 1 and 48 samples with the IndiMag 48s. Our modular system reduces plastic waste by only using required consumables.
The typical run time is around 30 minutes.
In general, we provide our pathogen kits in two variants: prefilled and non-prefilled/bottled. Prefilled cartridges are sealed plastic consumables, preloaded with the required reagents. This significantly reduces the required pipetting steps and hence, hands-on time, while increasing overall workflow stability.
Our kits are also available in a bottled variant, if you prefer to fill and prepare them yourself.
The UV lamp is another tool to reduce manual workload in the lab. Using UV light, the IndiMag 48s can run a decontamination protocol to reduce the risks of cross-contamination.
The subscription model is our way of making it even easier for you to access the benefits of our platform. With no down payment required, you simply choose the number of samples and a predefined subscription run time and we’ll calculate the rest, with your choice of monthly or quarterly shipments.
The IndiMag product portfolio (instrument and kits) works with a variety of sample types. These include (but are not limited to) whole blood, serum, milk, swabs, tissue and feces. Some sample types may require pretreatment steps, with 200 µl of sample being the recommended volume. For mastitis workflows, we offer mastitis kit.
The IndiMag 48s comes with preinstalled protocols for use with INDICAL’s extraction kits. Additionally, customer-specific protocols can be saved on the instrument.
The IndiMag Pathogen Kit is also available for 96-well plate instruments, such as ThermoFisher’s KingFisher Flex, or the QIAGEN BioSprint 96. Protocols are available upon request.
The IndiMag Pathogen Kit, extracts viral RNA and DNA and bacterial DNA.
