As a bureau-level institution directly under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center plays a key role in the field of animal health in China. To meet stringent work requirements, the center has extremely high demands on the accuracy, efficiency, and stability of its laboratory equipment.
Choose PRCXI High speed pipetting
The central laboratory previously faced numerous challenges associated with manual operations when conducting animal disease testing. In particular, manual liquid addition was not only inefficient in 384-well plate-related testing tasks, but also took more than 20 minutes to add samples to a single plate.
Two or three years ago, the center first introduced PRCXI's SC9200 workstation. In practical application, Zhongxi's fully automatic pipetting brought the center a brand-new, highly efficient pipetting experience, increasing the speed of manual pipetting by several times. It only takes four dispensing operations to complete a 384-well plate, instantly becoming the “darling” of the entire laboratory.
Recognized by PRCXI Long-term use and repeat purchases
As animal disease prevention and control efforts have progressed, laboratory testing volumes have continued to grow, and a single 9200 has become “in high demand and insufficient.”
Over the past three years, practical experience has proven the quality of the SC9200 workstation. Based on the stability and accuracy of nearly 10,000 practical operations, the center chose to repurchase multiple SC9210 SE pipetting workstations and deployed the equipment in different parks to support pipetting work in different experimental bases. This fully demonstrates the center's recognition and trust in Zhongxi equipment.
Advantages of repurchasing SC9210 SE equipment
High-throughput sample processing: Supports 6-10 working plate positions, compatible with PCR plates, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plates, and other consumables, enabling efficient batch dispensing of large-scale serum samples to meet emergency testing needs during sudden outbreaks.
Multi-channel switching: Freely switch between 1/8/12/96/384 channels to accurately transfer plates from 96-well plates to 384-well plates and perform micro-extraction of single-well samples, meeting the dual requirements of “batch + precision” in pathogen detection.
Complex process automation: In serological testing for diseases such as avian influenza and foot-and-mouth disease, the equipment can automatically perform reverse pipetting, pre-mixing, and post-mixing operations, replacing the tedious steps of manual hemagglutination inhibition tests and reducing the time required for a single batch of experiments by more than 60%.
From the initial SC9200 workstation to the subsequent SC9210 SE workstation, the China Animal Health and Epidemiology Center's continued procurement fully demonstrates its high recognition and trust in PRCXI equipment. PRCXI will continue to uphold its innovative spirit, continuously optimize product performance, and provide more advanced and reliable automated equipment for animal disease prevention and control, working together with customers to safeguard animal health and public health safety.
