Vircell (Granada, Spain) is highlighting the VirClia LOTUS CLIA analyzer at MEDICA 2023, the world's largest event for the medical sector. The VirClia LOTUS fully automated random access and continuous loading CLIA analyzer marks a revolution in infectious serology by offering the benefit of any test, any sample, any time. The analyzer allows to run more than 90 infectious markers in a monotest format with total flexibility and no need for reagents on board. The first results are available within 70 minutes and then, every 35 seconds thereafter.

VirClia Lotus accepts any combination of samples and reagents, regardless of the instrument status. Even while running, it remains accessible for reagent and sample addition. Urgent samples can be prioritized. With VirClia Lotus, STAT test requests are given the highest priority for processing. This true monotest solution allows the laboratory to run esoteric and low-volume infectious serology tests daily, alongside the laboratory routine. VirClia Lotus unifies in just one CLIA system, all those parameters are typically performed with ELISA, IFA, or Rapid Tests.

The instrument’s built-in scanner allows for full traceability of both samples and strips, avoiding clerical errors. Labs can save hands-on time using primary tubes (11-16 mm) directly in VirClia Lotus, avoiding the inconvenience of transferring samples or performing external predilution. VirClia Lotus offers the widest panel for infectious serology in CLIA, continuous loading, and multi-batch testing to run any number of different VirClia parameters simultaneously.
