An easy, rapid, reliable method for pathogen detection
Pall's GeneDisc system has been successfully established in many of the world leading food and environmental industries. The equipment's automation allows less specialized and minimally-trained personnel to routinely perform sophisticated biological sample testing. Part of the GeneDisc system, the GeneDisc Cycler is a robust, real time PCR platform for the rapid, sensitive and specific detection of microorganisms, in a matter of hours. It is comprised of a base unit plus up to seven sub-units - each of the units can hold one GeneDisc plate. The plate's unique, proprietary design enables the detection of a range of microorganisms simultaneously within the same sample DNA extract.The Cycler performs gene amplification in the plate, and each plate can be used to test either six, nine or twelve samples in parallel. When all sub-units are in use, the Cycler can analyze up to 96 samples in an hour. The unique, modular nature of the GeneDisc cycler offers the flexibility to fit your work flow requirements and to process different applications simultaneously.

Additional Information
How it Works
Step 1 - scan barcode to validate GeneDisc plate and test
Step 2 - fill plate
Finally the plate is placed in the Cycler, where it rotates on different heating plates at a fixed temperature to perform the PCR temperature cycles. One rotation equals one cycle.
Step 3 - load plate into the GeneDisc Cycler
The Cycler's optical system measures any fluorescent signal generated during testing. Data is sent to an integrated computer and user-friendly software records, analyzes and reports the results. Interpretation is automated and a table indicating all results is displayed at the end of the test sequence.
Such rapid and clear results enables fast decision-making for the user, and the minimum handling of PCR components ensures accurate and highly-reproducible data, requiring no significant user skills or training.
