iFIND S2 / S4 / S8 — Automatic nucleic acid detection and analysis.
The iFIND family integrates nucleic-acid enrichment, extraction, purification, liquid handling, amplification and analysis in a closed microfluidic-cartridge workflow. Independent random-access modules let laboratories start each test when it is needed, with three configurations for different workloads.
Sample in, result out
Pre-loaded lyophilised reagents and a closed cartridge reduce manual steps while keeping the molecular workflow contained.
- Integrated workflow: Enrichment, extraction, purification, liquid handling, mixing, amplification and result analysis are performed by the system.
- Independent modules: Each module operates independently, supporting true random-access testing without waiting for a batch.
- Multiplex detection: At least six fluorescence channels and more than ten targets per reaction tube, depending on the assay.
- Laboratory connectivity: HL7 LIS connectivity supports result transfer into the laboratory workflow.
Assay portfolio
The current manufacturer brochure lists human molecular-diagnostic panels across infectious-disease and antimicrobial-resistance applications. Availability and certification are assay- and market-specific.
- Respiratory and gastrointestinal: Multiplex respiratory-pathogen, gastrointestinal-infection and SARS-CoV-2-related applications are listed in the portfolio.
- Tuberculosis and mycobacteria: TB, drug-resistance and Mycobacteriaceae identification applications are represented.
- Bacteria, fungi and resistance: ESKAPE, carbapenem-resistance genes, MRSA, Candida and invasive-fungal applications are listed.
- Confirm before use: We confirm the applicable test menu, certification status, intended use and supply conditions before any commercial proposal.
Services, support and documentation
FirsTeckBio coordinates the commercial and technical pathway for the selected iFIND configuration in Italy.
- Workflow assessment: We map target menu, expected daily volume, urgency and LIS needs to the S2, S4 or S8 configuration.
- Demonstration and start-up: Demonstration, site-readiness and operator training are planned for the agreed project scope.
- Application support: Local first-line support is coordinated with the manufacturer for assay and technical escalation.
- Current documentation: Applicable product, assay and regulatory documents are provided for the selected configuration on request.
