Vidiera™ NsP Nucleic Sample Preparation
Simply More Versatile

Vidiera NsP is nothing less than nucleic acid sample preparation reinvented specifically for the hospital and reference laboratory. There simply has never been an automated system this capable and easy to operate. Only Vidiera NsP offers:

  • Fully automated sample preparation
  • Unparalleled output versatility
  • Positive ID sample tracking
  • Pre-defined and user-defined applications

In a fully automated, walk-away process, Vidiera NsP performs nucleic acid isolation, quantitation and normalization, and reaction set-up. Superior versatility enables Vidiera NsP to prepare samples and assemble reaction set-ups in the appropriate formats for downstream assay analysis on other leading manufacturer’s devices including LightCycler*, COBAS* TaqMan* and the 96-well Thermowell* Plate. Every step of the way, Positive ID gives you total traceability, from primary sample tube to final process location. And Vidiera NsP accommodates both home-brew and commercial extraction applications. Vidiera NsP. Designed with the clearest vision of your needs.
