REPRODUCIBILITY AND ACCURACY AT A NEW LEVEL
COMPLETE WORKFLOW
Confirm your IFA screening in the same instrument using the Blot module.
NO SAMPLE PRE-DILUTION REQUIRED
Dilutions are prepared directly in the trays.
REPRODUCIBILITY ACROSS ALL STRIPS
The time management and the environment created inside the HELMED® Blot ensures a consistent incubation and washing time for all strips tested.
GREAT VERSATILITY
40 strips from up to 9 different tests can be run at the same time.
ROBUST ANALYSIS AND ACCURACY
The HELMED Blot communicates with the AESKU.SCAN software, supporting an automated analysis of the strips, avoiding person-to-person bias.
REAGENT OPTIMIZATION
The AESKUBLOTS are optimized for the HELMED Blot, ensuring a better experience and the lowest „dead volume“ on the market.

190 REASONS TO AUTOMATE YOUR WORKFLOW
4x4 FORMAT – MORE SLIDES AND TESTS
Up to 20 slides from 4 different tests with 4 different substrates can be processed in just one run.
SMALL SIZE – HIGH THROUGHPUT
Despite its small footprint, the HELMED is able to process up to 190 different samples in one single run or approximately 20 slides.
SCREENING AND TITRATION WITH JUST ONE WORKLIST
The HELMED allows dilution ratios from 1:1 to 1:10.240 in 192 available dilution positions. One step dilution ratios range from 1:1 to 1:160; greater dilutions are performed in two steps.
OPEN FORMAT
The HELMED supports slides from different manufacturers independently of different thicknesses, number of wells and formats.
FLEXIBLE PROTOCOL PROGRAMMING
The multi-step programmable software allows the user to define conjugate/counterstain or multi-step reagent addition immediately after a specific well is washed (not after the whole slide has been washed).
UNPARALLELED REPRODUCIBILITY
The total sample and reagent volume to be dispensed per well is automatically calculated. Then it is distributed on multiple points to provide optimal sample and reagent distribution. This is especially necessary for tissue sections and large format wells. The wash-by-cycle system avoids cross-contamination.
