5. Workflow Overview 2.5 – 3 hours total time.
Sample preparation.
Specimens are incubated for lysis for 30 minutes.
Specimens are cooled for 15 minutes.
150 µL of lysed specimen is added to the Priming plate to reconstitute reagents and then incubates for 20 minutes.
2.5 – 3 hours total time.
Shortest and easiest procedure on the market
Priming plate is incubated with the Amplification plate for 10 minutes (hot start).
100 µL is transferred from the Priming plate to the Amplification plate.
Plate sealer is placed onto the Amplification plate.
Sealed plate is placed in the BD ProbeTec™ instrument. Results are available in 60 minutes. 5
