IFA AP32 IF ELITE
Product Line
Automatic Processor IFA
AP32 IF ELITE is an innovative system capable of processing 32 IFA slides (optional 40 slides). A special three-needle system speeds up the work session.
The system uses powerful proprietary software that allows you to manage multiple DAS instruments simultaneously. It allows the processing of slides with any thickness, well shape and number of rows, while maintaining the well-known washing accuracy of all IF instruments produced by DAS. The instrument is equipped with a barcode reader for samples, reagents and controls; a barcode reader for slides is also available.
