Sentinel Diagnostics (Milano, Italy) is presenting its newly-launched SENTiNAT 200 fully automated sample to result system, and STAT-NAT SN200 Real-Time PCR assays for the quantitative detection of 10 viruses at MEDICA 2022. The new SENTiNAT 200 and STAT-NAT SN200 kits represent the ideal solution for mid to large throughput laboratories engaged in the diagnosis of viral infections.

SENTiNAT 200 is a compact platform for DNA/RNA extraction, PCR set up and amplification that includes two integrated thermal cyclers and the FastFinder analysis software. The system combines throughput, automation and flexibility to better adapt to the various laboratory needs. It performs multi-parametric analysis of up to 15 viruses in the same run, processing from one up to 48 samples in four hours. The intuitive software that guides the operator through all the phases of the instrument set up, along with the barcode reader for samples and reagents help to reduce human error. The operator can access to the data available on the cloud anytime anywhere, to optimize reporting time while maintaining full control over the results.

SENTiNAT 200 is designed to work with STAT-NAT SN200 kits, based on the freeze-dried patented technology that allows long term stability at room temperature, making the assays more robust and simplifying reagent management in the laboratory. Also on display at the Sentinel booth at MEDICA 2022 is the recently launched SENTiFIT 800 high-throughput and fully automated solution for fecal immunochemical tests. SENTiFIT 800 represents the solution to help laboratories in the diagnosis of CRC as well as other digestive diseases.

“We developed the SENTiNAT 200 and STAT-NAT SN200 kits, all CE-marked, to offer a complete solution, that simplifies the routine activities of virology laboratories, including those dedicated to transplant patient,” said Marco Buonaguidi, Head of Sales and Marketing. “Today, we take a first step on a path that will see us committed to developing new parameters to satisfy the most challenging requests of our clients in molecular diagnostics.”
