Panther System
| Product Specification | |
|---|---|
| Sample throughput | 3.5 hours to first result. Panther completes full testing, through to result, for up to 275 samples in 8 hours or 750 in 16 hours. |
| Sample Capacity | 120 sample tubes can be loaded at once - in 8 racks with 15 samples per rack. Every 15 minutes a rack can be removed and new samples can be loaded, whenever you are ready. |
| Reagent Capacity | 1 reagent kit per lane (up to 250 tests); 4 lanes available to load any combination of assays (up to 1000 tests). Kits can be reloaded as they are consumed without pausing testing. 2000-test onboard universal fluids capacity. |
| Waste Capacity | 750 tests |
| Component Dimensions (w x d x h) |

| Weight | Panther System: 363 kg (800 lbs) UPS (Optional) 34.5 kg (76 lbs) |
| Sample Tube Barcode Types | Code 39, Code 93, Code 128 (ISBT 128) Interleaved 2 of 5, and Codabar |
| Environmental Requirements | Ambient Temperature: 15 - 30°C Relative Humidity: 20 - 85% |
| Electrical Requirements | Electrical Input: 100-230 +/- 10% VAC, 50-60Hz, single phase Current Input: Minimum of 15 amp circuit (dedicated); 20 amp circuit (dedicated) if used with optional UPS. Current Draw: Instrument and ancillaries draw 400 watts in power-save mode to 1400 watts peak 100 VAC circuit draws 14 amps; 230 VAC circuit draws 6 amps. |
| System Output | Heat Dissipation: 550 watts (1878 BTU/hour) during steady state. Liquid Waste: Waste fluids drain to removable containers |
The highly evolved senses of a hunter
With true sample-to-result automation, adaptable workflow options and a growing assay menu, the Panther® system is built for maximum efficiency. See what it can do for you in your lab for molecular diagnostic testing.
Flexibility Freedom Control to improve turnaround time
- No batching restrictions
Random, continuous access so you can load samples for any patient, in any order, at any time. - Run multiple assays simultaneously
Run up to 4 assays on-board with the Panther system and up to 32 with the Panther FusionM system. Run up to 4 assays from a single patient sample. - Remove and reuse reagents as needed without pausing the Panther system
Reduce reagent waste.
Freedom to improve turnaround time to increase productivity
- Full, Sample-to-result automation
Increases test throughput without increasing labor. - Walkaway freedom
Less hands-on time than any comparable instrument. - Streamlined calibration
Run controls and calibrators only once every 24 hours.
Control and reduce costs
- Automated process checks
Reduce invalid samples and/or runs. - Adaptable workflow
Control workflow and costs with flexibility and automation. - Chain-of-custody
Bi-Directional LIS connection for fully-automated processing and reporting.
