FLOW SW
The FLOW Software manages the information exchange between all modules of the FLOW Solution (PCR Setup Instrument/MagNA Pure 96 Instrument/LC480 Instrument). Sample test requests are automatically imported from local Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and distributed by the FLOW Software to all workflow components via .xml file exchange or LIMS interface module (LC 480). Sample test results are reported back to the local LIMS after approval. Fig. 2: FLOW Flex configurationThe FLOW Solution is available in different configurations. The FLOW Classic configuration (see Figure 1) consists of five individual components:1 MagNA Pure 96 System,2 FLOW PCR Setup System (for Primary Sample Handling and PCR Setup)1 LC 480 Instrument1 FLOW Software FLOW classic can be extended with up to 3 MagNA Pure 96 Systems and up to 5 LC 480 Instruments for increased throughput.Fig. 1: FLOW Classic configurationIn a FLOW Flex configuration (see Figure 2 ), one FLOW PCR Setup System covers both the primary sample handling and PCR setup steps in the workflow. A FLOW Flex configuration can be upgraded to a FLOW Classic configuration when needed. For maximum performance with variable workflow options and including backup solutions, both FLOW Classic and FLOW Flex can be used in parallel with the FLOW Fusion application (see Figure 3 below) for optimized data exchange between two FLOW installations (FLOW Classic and/or FLOW Flex).Figure 2: FLOW FLEX configurationThe FLOW Fusion application requires a FLOW Software Additional License.
