MiniPro Auto-Reader Incubator

Usage

The MiniPro Auto-Reader Incubator is specifically designed to perform both incubation and quantitative analysis for hygiene monitoring. Primarily, it supports pen systems used for the sensitive detection of surface proteins and allergens, including the Chemdye® PRO1 MICRO system. Samples are incubated at a controlled temperature of 60 °C for a duration of 4 minutes, ensuring optimal reaction conditions to produce accurate and reliable measurement results. 

This device enables the simultaneous processing and reading of up to three indicators, making it highly efficient for workload management in hygiene monitoring workflows. The automatic reading capabilities and integrated printer system facilitate real-time data acquisition and documentation, streamlining laboratory processes and supporting quality control and compliance.

Applicable Regulation

The MiniPro is manufactured following comprehensive Quality Management System standards (ISO 13485:2016/NS-EN) and meets electrical safety and environmental directives, ensuring safe and compliant operation.
