AP22 IF ELITE is an automatic processor for ELISA and IFA methods. The instrument is capable of processing 2 ELISA microplates with 8 in-line tests or 16 IFA slides; in addition to the ELISA process, it is able to carry out sample predilution, sample and reagent dispensing, incubation and washing of IFA slides.
