The AIX1000® automates a test that has historically been manual, labor intensive and subjective. This fully automated solution allows laboratories to continue to perform the traditional syphilis testing algorithm while improving efficiencies and reducing costs. RPR is now fully automated with all of the features and benefits of an immunoassay processor.”
