VERSANT kPCR Molecular System
Boosting productivity for respiratory testing.
Molecular laboratories are facing a significant increase in testing for respiratory pathogens as a result of the COVID-19 global health crisis. These increased demands require flexible automated platforms to enable them to meet the respiratory testing needs during the pandemic as well as during the flu season.
The VERSANT® kPCR Molecular System* with the MiPLX Software Solution for PCR-based testing provides true molecular testing versatility. The VERSANT kPCR Molecular System, delivering accurate and reliable results with maximum productivity and flexibility, enables molecular laboratories to meet emerging challenges as well as routine needs in molecular diagnostic testing.
The system is comprised of two bench-top instruments that provide flexible instrument configurations and use of laboratory space while enabling efficient operations:
- The VERSANT kPCR Molecular System SP for sample extraction and PCR plate setup
- The VERSANT kPCR Molecular System AD for PCR cycling

Eigenschaften & Vorteile
VERSANT kPCR Molecular System SP
Automated extraction of nucleic acids from specimens
- Multiple sample types per run
- Universal reagent kit for the isolation of RNA and DNA from a wide variety of specimen types
- Flexible run size of 1 to 96 samples with short turnaround times
Multiplex testing
- Automated PCR setup for Siemens Healthineers assays as well as laboratory-developed and third-party assays**
- Eluate splitting, instead of sample splitting, for standardized eluate for use in multiple assays from a single specimen
Versatile protocols
- Open protocols enable consolidation of the Siemens Healthineers assay menu with laboratory-developed and third-party assays on a single platform**
Efficient performance
- Accurate liquid delivery with unique total aspiration and dispense monitoring (TADM) technology
- Anti-droplet control (ADC)
Accurate sample identification
- System tracks sample/patient ID from primary tube to result
- Primary-tube sampling supports multiple tube sizes
Quality contamination control
- Air displacement pipetting (ADP)
- Disposable, filtered pipette tips
